Categorical Prediction Task Performance Measure

A Categorical Prediction Task Performance Measure is a prediction performance measure for a categorical prediction task/classification task.

• Context:
  • It can range from being a Binary Classification Performance Measure to being an n-Ary Classification Performance Measure.
  • …
• Example(s):
  • Classification Accuracy Measure (and its inverse classification error measure).
  • Area Under the Curve (AUC).
  • a Binary Prediction Task Performance Measure, such as a: Precision Measure, Recall Measure, and F-Measure.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • an Ordinal Prediction Task Performance Measure.
  • a Numeric Prediction Task Performance Measure, such as RMSE.
• See: IR Task Performance Measure, Estimation Task Performance Measure, ROC Curve, False Negative Error Rate.
