Package smile.validation.metric

Class FScore

java.lang.Object
smile.validation.metric.FScore
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ClassificationMetric
public class FScore extends Object implements ClassificationMetric
The F-score (or F-measure) considers both the precision and the recall of the test to compute the score. The precision p is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of all positive results, and the recall r is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of positive results that should have been returned.

The traditional or balanced F-score (F1 score) is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, where an F1 score reaches its best value at 1 and worst at 0.

The general formula involves a positive real β so that F-score measures the effectiveness of retrieval with respect to a user who attaches β times as much importance to recall as precision.
