  2. Multiclass classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiclass_classification

    In machine learning and statistical classification, multiclass classification or multinomial classification is the problem of classifying instances into one of three or more classes (classifying instances into one of two classes is called binary classification). For example, deciding on whether an image is showing a banana, an orange, or an ...

  3. Multiple comparisons problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_comparisons_problem

    A different set of techniques have been developed for "large-scale multiple testing", in which thousands or even greater numbers of tests are performed. For example, in genomics , when using technologies such as microarrays , expression levels of tens of thousands of genes can be measured, and genotypes for millions of genetic markers can be ...

  4. Multivariate statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_statistics

    Certain types of problems involving multivariate data, for example simple linear regression and multiple regression, are not usually considered to be special cases of multivariate statistics because the analysis is dealt with by considering the (univariate) conditional distribution of a single outcome variable given the other variables.

  5. Evaluation of binary classifiers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaluation_of_binary...

    The positive prediction value answers the question "If the test result is positive, how well does that predict an actual presence of disease?". It is calculated as TP/(TP + FP); that is, it is the proportion of true positives out of all positive results. The negative prediction value is the same, but for negatives, naturally.

  6. Classification rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_rule

    In binary classification, a better understood task, only two classes are involved, whereas multiclass classification involves assigning an object to one of several classes. [2] Since many classification methods have been developed specifically for binary classification, multiclass classification often requires the combined use of multiple ...

  7. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    Early work on statistical classification was undertaken by Fisher, [1] [2] in the context of two-group problems, leading to Fisher's linear discriminant function as the rule for assigning a group to a new observation. [3] This early work assumed that data-values within each of the two groups had a multivariate normal distribution.

  8. Multi-label classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-label_classification

    Multi-label classification is a generalization of multiclass classification, which is the single-label problem of categorizing instances into precisely one of several (greater than or equal to two) classes. In the multi-label problem the labels are nonexclusive and there is no constraint on how many of the classes the instance can be assigned to.

  9. Confusion matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_matrix

    In predictive analytics, a table of confusion (sometimes also called a confusion matrix) is a table with two rows and two columns that reports the number of true positives, false negatives, false positives, and true negatives. This allows more detailed analysis than simply observing the proportion of correct classifications (accuracy).
