what is classification models and how do we measure the performance of models
#1
Classification models are a type of machine learning model that are used to predict a categorical output value based on one or more input features. They are commonly used in applications such as spam detection, credit fraud detection, and image classification.
 
There are many different types of classification models, including logistic regression, support vector machines (SVMs), and decision trees. The specific type of classification model that is most appropriate for a particular problem will depend on the characteristics of the data and the goals of the analysis.
 
To measure the performance of a classification model, there are several metrics that are commonly used. Some common classification evaluation metrics include:
 
·        Accuracy: This is the percentage of correct predictions made by the model.
 
·        Precision: This is the percentage of true positive predictions made by the model out of all positive predictions made by the model.
 
·        Recall: This is the percentage of true positive predictions made by the model out of all actual positive cases.
 
·        F1 score: This is the harmonic mean of precision and recall.
 
·        AUC-ROC: This is the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, which is a plot of true positive rate against false positive rate.
 
These metrics can be used to compare the performance of different classification models and to determine which model is the best fit for the data.
