sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve¶

sklearn.metrics.precision_recall_curve(y_true, probas_pred, pos_label=None, sample_weight=None)[source]¶

Compute precision-recall pairs for different probability thresholds

Note: this implementation is restricted to the binary classification task.

The precision is the ratio tp / (tp + fp) where tp is the number of true positives and fp the number of false positives. The precision is intuitively the ability of the classifier not to label as positive a sample that is negative.

The recall is the ratio tp / (tp + fn) where tp is the number of true positives and fn the number of false negatives. The recall is intuitively the ability of the classifier to find all the positive samples.

The last precision and recall values are 1. and 0. respectively and do not have a corresponding threshold. This ensures that the graph starts on the y axis.

Parameters

y_truearray, shape = [n_samples]

True binary labels. If labels are not either {-1, 1} or {0, 1}, then pos_label should be explicitly given.

probas_predarray, shape = [n_samples]

Estimated probabilities or decision function.

pos_labelint or str, default=None

The label of the positive class. When pos_label=None, if y_true is in {-1, 1} or {0, 1}, pos_label is set to 1, otherwise an error will be raised.

sample_weightarray-like of shape = [n_samples], optional

Sample weights.

Returns

precisionarray, shape = [n_thresholds + 1]

Precision values such that element i is the precision of predictions with score >= thresholds[i] and the last element is 1.

recallarray, shape = [n_thresholds + 1]

Decreasing recall values such that element i is the recall of predictions with score >= thresholds[i] and the last element is 0.

thresholdsarray, shape = [n_thresholds <= len(np.unique(probas_pred))]

Increasing thresholds on the decision function used to compute precision and recall.
