hamming_loss
(y_true, y_pred, classes=None)[source]¶ Compute the average Hamming loss.
The Hamming loss is the fraction of labels that are incorrectly predicted.
Read more in the User Guide.
Parameters: y_true : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Ground truth (correct) labels.
y_pred : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Predicted labels, as returned by a classifier.
classes : array, shape = [n_labels], optional
Integer array of labels.
Returns: loss : float or int,
Return the average Hamming loss between element of
y_true
andy_pred

Notes
In multiclass classification, the Hamming loss correspond to the Hamming distance between
y_true
andy_pred
which is equivalent to the subsetzero_one_loss
function.In multilabel classification, the Hamming loss is different from the subset zero-one loss. The zero-one loss considers the entire set of labels for a given sample incorrect if it does entirely match the true set of labels. Hamming loss is more forgiving in that it penalizes the individual labels.
The Hamming loss is upperbounded by the subset zero-one loss. When normalized over samples, the Hamming loss is always between 0 and 1.
