Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method

A Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method is a standardization method that transforms observed metric values minus null hypothesis values divided by standard error estimates for hypothesis testing on performance metrics.

• AKA: Performance Metric Z-Statistic, Standardized Test Statistic Method, Z-Transform for Metrics, Normal Deviate Method.
• Context:
  • It can typically compute Z = (observed - null) / SE for statistical tests.
  • It can typically use Delta-Method F1 Standard Error Estimation Methods for denominator.
  • It can typically enable Normal Approximation for P-Value Methods for significance testing.
  • It can often support F1 P-Value Calculation Methods and Macro-F1 P-Value Calculation Methods.
  • It can often assume asymptotic normality under central limit theorem.
  • It can often provide scale-invariant comparisons across different metric types.
  • It can range from being a One-Sample Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method to being a Two-Sample Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method, depending on its sample comparison.
  • It can range from being a Pooled-Variance Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method to being a Separate-Variance Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method, depending on its variance estimation.
  • It can range from being a Large-Sample Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method to being a Small-Sample Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method, depending on its sample size.
  • It can range from being a Exact Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method to being a Approximate Z-Score for Performance Metric Test Method, depending on its distributional assumption.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • F1 Z-Score Calculations, such as:
    • Z = (0.857 - 0.5) / 0.04 = 8.925.
    • Testing F1 against random baseline.
  • Macro-F1 Z-Scores, such as:
    • Z for macro-averaged metrics.
    • Aggregated across multiple classes.
  • Difference Z-Scores, such as:
    • Z = (F1_A - F1_B) / SE_diff.
    • Model comparison statistics.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • t-Statistic Method, which uses t-distribution.
  • Chi-Square Statistic Method, which uses chi-square distribution.
  • F-Statistic Method, which compares variances.
