Thus, the 20,162 classifications (predictions) of income ?50,000 are said to be negatives, and the 4824 classifications of income>50,000 are said to be positives. The 2317 negative classifications that were made in error are said to be false negatives. That is, a false negative represents a record that is classified as negative but is actually positive. Of the 4824 positive classifications, 1157 actually had low incomes, so that there are 1157 false positives. A false positive represents a record that is classified as positive but is actually negative. (more…)

ERROR RATE, FALSE POSITIVES, AND FALSE NEGATIVES
Sunday, July 26th, 2009Recall from Chapter 6 that we applied a C5.0 model for classifying whether a persons income was low (?50,000) or high (>50,000), based on a set of predictor variables which included capital gain, capital loss, marital status, and so on. Let us evaluate the performance of that decision tree classification model, using the notions of error rate, false positives, and false negatives. (more…)
MODEL EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE CLASSIFICATION TASK
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009Perhaps the most widespread usage of supervised data mining involves the classification task. Recall that in classification, there is a target categorical variable. The data mining model examines a large set of records, each record containing information on the target variable as well as a set of input or predictor variables. The analyst would like to be able to generate a classification for the target variable for new records, or persons, (more…)
MODEL EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE ESTIMATION AND PREDICTION TASKS
Monday, July 20th, 2009For estimation and prediction models, which employ supervised methods, we are provided with both the estimated (or predicted) value y of the numeric target variable and the actual value y. Therefore, a natural measure to assess model adequacy is to examine the estimation error, or residual, |y ? y|. Since the average residual is always equal to zero, we cannot use it for model evaluation; some other measure is
needed. (more…)

MODEL EVALUATION TECHNIQUES FOR THE DESCRIPTION TASK
Friday, July 17th, 2009In Chapter 3 we learned how to apply exploratory data analysis (EDA) to learn about the salient characteristics of a data set. EDA represents a popular and powerful technique for applying the descriptive task of data mining. On the other hand, because descriptive techniques make no classifications, predictions, or estimates, an objective method for evaluating the efficacy of these techniques can be elusive. The watchword is common sense. Remember that data mining models should be as transparent as (more…)
