Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which evaluation metric is most appropriate for a binary classification problem?
  • Step 1: Understand that a binary classification problem involves two classes, such as 'yes' and 'no'.
  • Step 2: Learn that accuracy measures how many predictions were correct out of all predictions made.
  • Step 3: Calculate accuracy by using the formula: (Number of correct predictions) / (Total number of predictions).
  • Step 4: Recognize that while accuracy is useful, it may not always be the best metric, especially if the classes are imbalanced.
