Direct Known Subclasses:

AucPR

public class PRCurve
extends TwoClassAbstractPerformanceMeasure

This class implements the precision-recall curve and its area under the curve. The precision-recall curve is the plot of precision (also called positive predictive value, ) against recall (also called sensitivity, ) for all possible classification thresholds. If you are only interested in the area under this curve, you can use AucPR instead.

Constructor Detail

PRCurve

public PRCurve()

Constructs a new instance of the performance measure PRCurve.

PRCurve

public PRCurve(StringBuffer xml)
        throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Constructs a PRCurve out of an XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the PRCurve could not be reconstructed out of the StringBuffer xml

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from class: AbstractPerformanceMeasure

The method returns the name of the performance measure.

Specified by:

getName in class AbstractPerformanceMeasure

Returns:

the name of the performance measure

compute

public ResultSet compute(double[] sortedScoresClass0,
                         double[] sortedScoresClass1)

Description copied from class: AbstractPerformanceMeasure

This method allows to compute the performance measure of given sorted score ratios. This method can only be used for binary classifiers.

Specified by:

compute in class AbstractPerformanceMeasure

Parameters:

sortedScoresClass0 - the sorted score ratios of class 0

sortedScoresClass1 - the sorted score ratios of class 1

Returns:

a result set containing the results of the performance measure
