Your method of performance evaluation will vary by the type of machine learning algorithm that you choose to implement. In general, there are different metrics that can potentially determine how well your model is performing at its given task for classification, regression, and unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
In this chapter, we will explore how the different performance evaluation methods can help you to better understand your model. The chapter will be split into three sections, as follows:
- Performance evaluation for classification algorithms
- Performance evaluation for regression algorithms
- Performance evaluation for unsupervised algorithms
