Confusion matrix and performance metrics

Prediction
PositiveNegative
ActualPositiveTrue positive (TP)False negative (FN)
NegativeFalse positive (FP)True negative (TN)
TPRTrue Positive Rate (TPR): the proportion of correctly predicted positive cases to the actual positive cases. An ideal result is to get a TPR of 1TPTP+FN
FPRFalse Positive Rate (FPR): the proportion of wrongly predicted positive cases to the actual negative cases. An ideal result is to get an FPR of 0FPFP+TN
AUROCA ROC curve is a plot that shows trade-offs between the TPR and FPR values. AUROC measures the area under the curve within a range between 0 and 1. A closer to 1 indicates better model performance
