predicted false correct false negative
predicted true false positive correct

Confusion matrix: counts of outcomes

mdl_recency <- glm(has_churned ~ time_since_last_purchase, data = churn, family = "binomial")
actual_response <- churn$has_churned
predicted_response <- round(fitted(mdl_recency))
outcomes <- table(predicted_response, actual_response)
                  actual_response
predicted_response   0   1
                 0 141 111
                 1  59  89

Visualizing the confusion matrix: mosaic plot

library(ggplot2)
library(yardstick)
confusion <- conf_mat(outcomes)
                  actual_response
predicted_response   0   1
                 0 141 111
                 1  59  89
autoplot(confusion)

A mosaic plot of the churn versus recency model outcomes. There are 200 observations each for true churns and true not-churns, so each column has the same width.

Accuracy

summary(confusion) %>% 
  slice(1)
# A tibble: 3 x 3
  .metric  .estimator .estimate
  <chr>    <chr>          <dbl>
1 accuracy binary         0.575

Accuracy is the proportion of correct predictions.

$$ accuracy = \frac{TN + TP}{TN + FN + FP + TP} $$

confusion
                  actual_response
predicted_response   0   1
                 0 141 111
                 1  59  89
(141 + 89) / (141 + 111 + 59 + 89)
0.575

Sensitivity

summary(confusion) %>% 
  slice(3)
# A tibble: 1 x 3
  .metric .estimator .estimate
  <chr>   <chr>          <dbl>
1 sens    binary         0.445

Sensitivity is the proportion of true positives.

$$ sensitivity = \frac{TP}{FN + TP} $$

confusion
                  actual_response
predicted_response   0   1
                 0 141 111
                 1  59  89
89 / (111 + 89)
0.445

Specificity

summary(confusion) %>% 
  slice(4)
# A tibble: 1 x 3
  .metric .estimator .estimate
  <chr>   <chr>          <dbl>
1 spec    binary         0.705

Specificity is the proportion of true negatives.

$$ specificity = \frac{TN}{TN + FP} $$

confusion
                  actual_response
predicted_response   0   1
                 0 141 111
                 1  59  89
