Class Specificity

smile.validation.Specificity

All Implemented Interfaces:

ClassificationMeasure

public class Specificity
extends java.lang.Object
implements ClassificationMeasure

Specificity (SPC) or True Negative Rate is a statistical measures of the performance of a binary classification test. Specificity measures the proportion of negatives which are correctly identified.

SPC = TN / N = TN / (FP + TN) = 1 - FPR

Sensitivity and specificity are closely related to the concepts of type I and type II errors. For any test, there is usually a trade-off between the measures. This trade-off can be represented graphically using an ROC curve.

In this implementation, the class label 1 is regarded as positive and all others are regarded as negative.
