Study Notes
Confusion Matrix Overview
- A Confusion Matrix is primarily used to evaluate the performance of a classification model.
- It summarizes the results of predictions by contrasting actual versus predicted classifications.
Objectives of a Confusion Matrix
- It tests if the discriminant function accurately differentiates between customer segments.
- Provides insight into the accuracy and effectiveness of a classification algorithm.
- Helps identify the types of classification errors made by the model.
Additional Functions
- Does not specifically focus on assessing the statistical significance of the discriminant function.
- Not intended for identifying base variables needed for customer classification.
- Not focused on evaluating correlations between descriptor variables within a customer segment.
