Predicted Probability, Explained: A Visual Guide with Code Examples for Beginners

MODEL EVALUATION & OPTIMIZATION7 basic classifiers reveal their prediction confidence mathClassification models don’t just tell you what they think the answer is—they also tell you how sure they are about that answer. This certainty is shown as a probability score. A high score means the model is very confident, while a low score means it’s uncertain about its prediction.Every classification model calculates these...
