D) classification algorithm

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A classification matrix (also known as a confusion matrix) is used to evaluate the effectiveness of a classification rule by summarizing the number of correct and incorrect classifications for each class. It displays the predicted classes against the true classes, making it easy to see where misclassifications are occurring and to calculate the probability of misclassification errors. The other options (classification hierarchy, dendogram, classification algorithm) are not appropriate for evaluating the effectiveness of a classification rule.
