Metrics used to evaluate the performance of machine learned models

Metric Name/Notation Description
Area under curve (AUC) The area under curve for the receiver operating characteristics curve for different values of true positive rates and false positive rates.
Sensitivity TPTP+FN
Specificity TNTN+FP
Precision TPTP+FP
False negative rate (FNR) FNFN+TP
False positive rate (FPR) FPFP+TN
Accuracy TP+TNTP+TN+FP+FN
F1 score 2TP2TP+FP+FN
Matthews correlation coefficient TPTNFPFN(TP+FP)(TP+FN)(TN+FP)(TN+FN)

TP: True positive, FP: False positive, TN: True negative, FN: False negative
