    • Classification/Classifier: The act of labeling a test case into one of a finite number of output classes. A model that classifies is sometimes referred to as a "classifier". Commonly a classifer's performance is measured by its ability to correctly label unseen test cases, that is its "accuracy". Inversely a classifier's performance may be measured by its "error rate". A more detailed insight into a classifier's performance is given by the Confusion Matrix structure because it captures how well the classifier predicts each of the available classes. If a Cost-Benefit Matrix is available then the classifier's performance is measured by the product of the Confusion and Cost-Benefit matrices.
