Class Specificity

java.lang.Object
smile.validation.metric.Specificity
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, ClassificationMetric
public class Specificity extends Object implements ClassificationMetric
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 0 is regarded as negative.
