precision_score (original) (raw)

sklearn.metrics.precision_score(y_true, y_pred, *, labels=None, pos_label=1, average='binary', sample_weight=None, zero_division='warn')[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.

Support beyond term:binary targets is achieved by treating multiclassand multilabel data as a collection of binary problems, one for each label. For the binary case, setting average='binary' will return precision for pos_label. If average is not 'binary', pos_label is ignored and precision for both classes are computed, then averaged or both returned (whenaverage=None). Similarly, for multiclass and multilabel targets, precision for all labels are either returned or averaged depending on theaverage parameter. Use labels specify the set of labels to calculate precision for.

Parameters:

y_true1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix

Ground truth (correct) target values.

y_pred1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix

Estimated targets as returned by a classifier.

labelsarray-like, default=None

The set of labels to include when average != 'binary', and their order if average is None. Labels present in the data can be excluded, for example in multiclass classification to exclude a “negative class”. Labels not present in the data can be included and will be “assigned” 0 samples. For multilabel targets, labels are column indices. By default, all labels in y_true and y_pred are used in sorted order.

Changed in version 0.17: Parameter labels improved for multiclass problem.

pos_labelint, float, bool or str, default=1

The class to report if average='binary' and the data is binary, otherwise this parameter is ignored. For multiclass or multilabel targets, set labels=[pos_label] andaverage != 'binary' to report metrics for one label only.

average{‘micro’, ‘macro’, ‘samples’, ‘weighted’, ‘binary’} or None, default=’binary’

This parameter is required for multiclass/multilabel targets. If None, the metrics 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 fromaccuracy_score).

sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None

Sample weights.

zero_division{“warn”, 0.0, 1.0, np.nan}, default=”warn”

Sets the value to return when there is a zero division.

Notes:

Added in version 1.3: np.nan option was added.

Returns:

precisionfloat (if average is not None) or array of float of 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.

Notes

When true positive + false positive == 0, precision returns 0 and raises UndefinedMetricWarning. This behavior can be modified with zero_division.
