Measure

Definition

Equation

Positive Predictive Value (PPV)

Ratio of truth positive to number of cases truly falls under the classes

TP/(TP+FP)

Sensitivity

Proportion of actual positives which are correctly identified

TP/(TP+FN)

Specificity

Proportion of negative which are correctly identified

TN/(FP+TN)

10 Cross Validation Accuracy

Split the dataset into 10 folds and runs classification 10 times

(TP+TN)/(TP+FP+TN+FN)

Kappa

Robust measure taking into account the agreement by chance

K = (I o -I e )/(1-I e )

I o = (TP+TN)/(TP+TN+FP+FN)

I e = ((TN+FN)(TN+FP)+ (TP+FP)(TP+FN))/n2

n = TP+TN+FP+FN

Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC)

Identify the relation between sensitivity and specificity

Area under curve plotting sensitivity and (1-specificity)
