Micro-F1 Measure

A Micro-F1 Measure is a micro-averaged performance measure that is an F-measure computed as the harmonic mean of micro-precision metric and micro-recall metric.

• AKA: Micro F1 Score, Micro-Averaged F1, Global F1 Score, Pooled F1 Measure.
• Context:
  • It can typically calculate Micro-F1 Score Values by first aggregating micro-F1 true positives, micro-F1 false positives, and micro-F1 false negatives globally, then computing micro-F1 precision and micro-F1 recall from these micro-F1 global counts.
  • It can typically equal the harmonic mean of Micro-Precision Metric and Micro-Recall Metric when both are computed from the same micro-F1 global aggregations.
  • It can typically weight Micro-F1 Class Contributions proportionally to their micro-F1 sample count, giving more influence to micro-F1 frequent classes.
  • It can typically provide Micro-F1 Performance Assessments that reflect overall micro-F1 system accuracy across the entire micro-F1 dataset.
  • It can typically equal Micro-F1 Accuracy Values in single-label micro-F1 multi-class settings when micro-F1 true negatives are not considered.
  • It can typically favor Micro-F1 Majority Class Performance over micro-F1 minority class performance in micro-F1 imbalanced datasets.
  • ...
  • It can often be preferred over Macro-F1 Measures when micro-F1 overall performance matters more than micro-F1 per-class balance.
  • It can often yield Micro-F1 Higher Scores than macro-F1 measures in micro-F1 class-imbalanced scenarios.
  • It can often be derived from Micro-Precision Measures and Micro-Recall Measures through micro-F1 harmonic mean calculation.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Micro-F1 Measure to being a Complex Micro-F1 Measure, depending on its micro-F1 class diversity.
  • It can range from being a Binary-Derived Micro-F1 Measure to being a Many-Class Micro-F1 Measure, depending on its micro-F1 label space size.
  • It can range from being a Sparse Micro-F1 Measure to being a Dense Micro-F1 Measure, depending on its micro-F1 prediction distribution.
  • It can range from being a Low Micro-F1 Measure to being a High Micro-F1 Measure, depending on its micro-F1 classification quality.
  • It can range from being a Consistent Micro-F1 Measure to being a Variable Micro-F1 Measure, depending on its micro-F1 temporal stability.
  • ...
  • It can be computed using Micro-F1 Aggregation Formulas that pool micro-F1 confusion matrix elements.
  • It can be integrated into Micro-F1 Evaluation Pipelines for micro-F1 model selection.
  • It can be compared with Micro-F1 Baseline Scores to assess micro-F1 improvement.
  • It can be tracked through Micro-F1 Learning Curves during micro-F1 model training.
  • It can be optimized using Micro-F1 Loss Functions in micro-F1 neural network training.

• Counter-Example(s):
  • Macro-F1 Measure, which computes the unweighted average of per-class F1 scores rather than aggregating confusion matrix elements globally.
  • Weighted F1 Measure, which applies explicit class weights rather than implicit weighting through sample count.
  • Balanced Accuracy Measure, which averages per-class recall rather than computing global precision-recall harmonic mean.
  • Matthews Correlation Coefficient, which considers all four confusion matrix quadrants including true negatives.
  • Log Loss Measure, which evaluates probabilistic predictions rather than hard classification decisions.
