sklearn.metrics.precision_score¶
- sklearn.metrics.precision_score(y_true, y_pred, labels=None, pos_label=1, average='binary', sample_weight=None)[source]¶
Compute the precision
The precision is the ratio tp / (tp + fp) where tp is the number of true positives and fp the number of false positives. The precision is intuitively the ability of the classifier not to label as positive a sample that is negative.
The best value is 1 and the worst value is 0.
Parameters: y_true : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Ground truth (correct) target values.
y_pred : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Estimated targets as returned by a classifier.
labels : array
Integer array of labels.
pos_label : str or int, 1 by default
The class to report if average='binary'. Until version 0.18 it is necessary to set pos_label=None if seeking to use another averaging method over binary targets.
average : string, [None, ‘binary’ (default), ‘micro’, ‘macro’, ‘samples’, ‘weighted’]
This parameter is required for multiclass/multilabel targets. If None, the scores for each class are returned. Otherwise, this determines the type of averaging performed on the data:
- 'binary':
Only report results for the class specified by pos_label. This is applicable only if targets (y_{true,pred}) are binary.
- 'micro':
Calculate metrics globally by counting the total true positives, false negatives and false positives.
- 'macro':
Calculate metrics for each label, and find their unweighted mean. This does not take label imbalance into account.
- 'weighted':
Calculate metrics for each label, and find their average, weighted by support (the number of true instances for each label). This alters ‘macro’ to account for label imbalance; it can result in an F-score that is not between precision and recall.
- 'samples':
Calculate metrics for each instance, and find their average (only meaningful for multilabel classification where this differs from accuracy_score).
Note that if pos_label is given in binary classification with average != ‘binary’, only that positive class is reported. This behavior is deprecated and will change in version 0.18.
sample_weight : array-like of shape = [n_samples], optional
Sample weights.
Returns: precision : float (if average is not None) or array of float, shape = [n_unique_labels]
Precision of the positive class in binary classification or weighted average of the precision of each class for the multiclass task.
Examples
>>> from sklearn.metrics import precision_score >>> y_true = [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2] >>> y_pred = [0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1] >>> precision_score(y_true, y_pred, average='macro') 0.22... >>> precision_score(y_true, y_pred, average='micro') 0.33... >>> precision_score(y_true, y_pred, average='weighted') ... 0.22... >>> precision_score(y_true, y_pred, average=None) array([ 0.66..., 0. , 0. ])
