err_rate

ErrRate

Bases: MultiClassMetric

Error rate, represents the total misclassification error percentage.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
known_classes list of int

List of known labels, the labels the algorithm knows prior to the online phase

 required
cm ConfusionMatrixNovelty

Optional, can specify an already existing confusion matrix instead of creating a new one for the metric

 None

Attributes:

Name Type Description
cm ConfusionMatrixNovelty
