Accuracy | Metric used to evaluate the classification performance of a machine learning model defined by the ratio of the number of correct predictions over the total number of predictions. |
Precision | Ability of an algorithm to return substantially more relevant results than irrelevant ones |
AUC | Measure of how well a binary classifier system can distinguish between two groups |
Sensitivity | Proportion of actual positives that are correctly identified as such |
Specificity | Proportion of actual negatives that are correctly identified as such |
PPV | Proportions of positive results in statistics that are true positive |
NPV | Proportions of negative results in statistics and true negative results |
Statistical significance | Expresses whether an observed difference is more likely to be a real difference rather than a chance occurrence |
Clinical significance | Expresses the impact and importance of a finding for a patient population |
Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
