Outline From binary to multiclass and multilabel Clustering performance evaluation Rand index Adjusted rand index Cross-validation: evaluating estimator performance 1
From binary to multiclass and multilabel Some metrics are essentially defined for binary classification tasks (e.g. f1_score, roc_auc_score). In extending a binary metric to multiclass or multilabel problems, the data is treated as a collection of binary problems, one for each class. There are then a number of ways to average binary metric calculations across the set of classes, each of which may be useful in some scenario. macro : simply calculates the mean of the binary metrics, giving equal weight to each class micro : gives each sample-class pair an equal contribution to the overall metric (except as a result of sample-weight) weighted : accounts for class imbalance by computing the average of binary metrics in which each class s score is weighted by its presence in the true data sample. https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1cXnsuqGvmhsYB-Irl-tnsw1OEiqEpjom?usp=sharing 2 https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.classification_report.html

Clustering performance evaluation Rand index: a measure of the percentage of correct decisions made by the algorithm Where: TN is the number of true negatives, FP is the number of false positives, FN is the number of false negatives. TP is the number of true positives, ?? [0,1] 4 https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.classification_report.html
Clustering performance evaluation Problem: However, the Rand index does not guarantee that random label assignments will get a value close to 0. To counter this effect we can discount the expected RI, ?[??] of random labelings by defining the adjusted Rand index as follows: 5 https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.classification_report.html
Clustering performance evaluation Adjusted rand index: groupings or partitions(e.g. clusterings)of these elements, namely class(X) and cluster(Y). The overlap between X and Y can be summarized in a contingency table, where each entry n_ij denotes the number of objects in common between X_i and Y_j Given a set S of n elements, and two 6 https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.metrics.classification_report.html
