# F1 Score (F Measure)

{% hint style="success" %}
Consider a Binary Classification Model that Predicts Whether or Not a Person Got Diabetic.

### Accuracy

How many cases did we correctly label out of all the cases? $$\frac{TP+TN}{TP+FP+TN+FN}$$ 

### Precision

How many of those who we labeled as diabetic are actually diabetic? $$\frac{TP}{TP+FP}$$ 

### Recall/Sensitivity/TPR

Of all the people who are diabetic, how many of those did we correctly predict? $$\frac{TP}{TP+FN}$$ 

### Specificity/FPR(1-Specificity)

Of all the people who are healthy, how many of those did we correctly predict? $$\frac{TN}{TN+FP}$$ 

### F1-score/F-Score/F-Measure

It is the harmonic mean (average) of the precision and recall. $$\frac{2*Precision*Recall}{Precision+Recall}$$ 

Using F1 score as a metric, we are sure that if the F1 score is high, both precision and recall of the classifier indicate good results. This score takes both false positives and false negatives into account. Intuitively it is not as easy to understand as accuracy, but F1 is usually more useful than accuracy, especially if you have an uneven class distribution.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai.nuhil.net/statistics/f1-score-f-measure.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
