性能- w输出hat is the +/- value?

Rachel_dvm

Hello,

I have a quick question to which I couldn't find the answer by searching the other threads or the information available on the RapidMiner website. I'm not from a data science background but have been using RapidMiner for some classification using a few different machine learning processes. I have used cross validation and an example of the performance results is this (a very poor classifier for my data):

Precision: 95.06%+/- 6.06%(micro average: 94.76%) (positive class: true)

True false True true Class precision

Pred. false 3915 587 86.96%

Pred. true 12 217 94.76%

class recall 99.69% 26.99%

I'm not concerned with the actual performance of the model but more the value I've bolded. What does this +/- range represent? I had originally thought it was a range of precision but the positive value is above 100%. Is this due to the class distribution difference?

Thank you in advance!

Hi@Rachel_dvm,

Suppose you have a 10 fold cross validation for your ML model, you will get 10 individual testing performances on each testing set. The number after +/- is for thestandard deviationout of the 10 testing performance. With 10 fold cross validated models, you will get the average performance as well. The average is the number before +/-.

Cheers,

Yes, that is right. I used 10 fold. Thank you, that makes sense! Is there anything you could refer me to read to confirm this? (I will need to convince my supervisor that it is the standard deviation)
