The advantages of the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) over F1 score and accuracy in binary classification evaluation

TL;DR: This article shows how MCC produces a more informative and truthful score in evaluating binary classifications than accuracy and F1 score, by first explaining the mathematical properties, and then the asset of MCC in six synthetic use cases and in a real genomics scenario.

A Review on Ensembles for the Class Imbalance Problem: Bagging-, Boosting-, and Hybrid-Based Approaches

TL;DR: A taxonomy for ensemble-based methods to address the class imbalance where each proposal can be categorized depending on the inner ensemble methodology in which it is based is proposed and a thorough empirical comparison is developed by the consideration of the most significant published approaches to show whether any of them makes a difference.
Journal ArticleDOI

An insight into classification with imbalanced data: Empirical results and current trends on using data intrinsic characteristics

TL;DR: This work carries out a thorough discussion on the main issues related to using data intrinsic characteristics in this classification problem, and introduces several approaches and recommendations to address these problems in conjunction with imbalanced data.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of ensemble methods for binary classifiers in multi-class problems: Experimental study on one-vs-one and one-vs-all schemes

TL;DR: This work develops a double study, using different base classifiers in order to observe the suitability and potential of each combination within each classifier, and compares the performance of these ensemble techniques with the classifiers' themselves.
Journal ArticleDOI

An experimental comparison of performance measures for classification

TL;DR: This work analyzes experimentally the behaviour of 18 different performance metrics in several scenarios, identifying clusters and relationships between measures and makes a comprehensive analysis of the relationships between metrics, and a taxonomy and arrangement of them according to the previous traits.

C4.5: Programs for Machine Learning

TL;DR: A complete guide to the C4.5 system as implemented in C for the UNIX environment, which starts from simple core learning methods and shows how they can be elaborated and extended to deal with typical problems such as missing data and over hitting.

The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

James A. Hanley, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1982 - 
TL;DR: A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

An Introduction to Support Vector Machines and Other Kernel-based Learning Methods

TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive introduction to Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a new generation learning system based on recent advances in statistical learning theory, and will guide practitioners to updated literature, new applications, and on-line software.
