Quantifying classifier performance relative to the uninformed model

Two novel, simple metrics for classifier performance are proposed: An accuracy-based R2 and its scaled variant, the fair accuracy. They both measure the performance relative to the uninformed classifier and are better suited for imbalanced classes tha

Abstract

Two novel, simple metrics for classifier performance are proposed: An accuracy-based R2 and its scaled variant, the fair accuracy. They both measure the performance relative to the uninformed classifier and are better suited for imbalanced classes tha
