    Study Notes

    Class Imbalance Problem

    • Many classification problems have skewed class distributions, where one class has more records than the other.
    • Examples of such problems include credit card fraud, intrusion detection, defective products in manufacturing, and COVID-19 test results.

    Evaluation Metrics

    • Accuracy: measures the proportion of correctly classified instances, but is not suitable for imbalanced classes.
    • Precision: measures the quality of model predictions for one particular class, calculated by dividing the number of true positives by the sum of true positives and false positives.
    • Recall: measures how well the model does for the actual observations of a particular class, calculated by dividing the number of true positives by the sum of true positives and false negatives.

    Alternative Measures

    Measures of Classification Performance

    • True Positive (TP) Rate: proportion of actual positives correctly classified.
    • True Negative (TN) Rate: proportion of actual negatives correctly classified.
    • False Positive (FP) Rate: proportion of actual negatives incorrectly classified as positive.
    • False Negative (FN) Rate: proportion of actual positives incorrectly classified as negative.

    Example 1

    • Given a dataset of 120 training examples with 65 spam emails and 55 non-spam emails, the performance classification results are:
      • TP: 50, TN: 30, FP: 25, FN: 15
      • Accuracy: 67%
      • Error rate: 33%
      • Precision: 67%
      • Recall: 77%
      • F-measure: 71%
      • Sensitivity: 77%
      • Specificity: 55%
      • True positive (TP) rate: 77%
      • True negative (TN) rate: 55%
      • False positive (FP) rate: 45%
      • False negative (FN) rate: 23%

    ROC and AUC

    • The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve is a plot of the true positive rate against the false positive rate.
    • The Area Under the Curve (AUC) measures the area beneath the ROC curve.
    • The AUC is between 0 and 1, and can show the quality of the classification model.
