mlr_measures_classif.sensitivity: True Positive Rate

In mlr3: Machine Learning in R - Next Generation

True Positive Rate

Description

Measure to compare true observed labels with predicted labels in binary classification tasks.

Details

The True Positive Rate is defined as

\frac{\mathrm{TP}}{\mathrm{TP} + \mathrm{FN}}.

This is also know as "recall", "sensitivity", or "probability of detection".

This measure is undefined if TP + FN = 0.

Dictionary

This Measure can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_measures or with the associated sugar function msr():

mlr_measures$get("classif.sensitivity")
msr("classif.sensitivity")

Parameters

Empty ParamSet

Meta Information

• Type: "binary"

• Range: [0, 1]

• Minimize: FALSE

• Required prediction: response

Note

The score function calls mlr3measures::sensitivity() from package mlr3measures.

If the measure is undefined for the input, NaN is returned. This can be customized by setting the field na_value.
