Metrics catalogue

Picking metrics

When picking metrics for an evaluation, run through the catalogue and pick any already defined, or enter a new metric when needed.

The attribute/measure catalogue developed in PW can be found here Measures
Also, an equivalent attribute/measure source can be found in this google doc Measures by google doc (write to Kresimir Duretec for access to the google doc).

Metrics in use as of first round of evaluations

Binary evaluation method (FMeasure)

We use sensitivity and specificity as statistical measures of the performance of the binary classification test where 
Sensitivity = Σ true different / (Σ true different + Σ false similar
and 
Specificity = Σ true similar / (Σ true similar + Σ false different
and the F-measure is calculated on this basis as shown in the table below:

 

This is one suggested way, which is nicely applicable, if we test for binary correctness of calculations, i.e. it is applicable for characterisation and QA.
