The choice for the same depends on the problem statement and serves an important role in model selection.</p> </br> ### Confusion Matrix : <p><b>Confusion matrix</b> is one of the easiest and the most intutive way to find the correctness and accuracy of the model. It serves as the building block for all the other performance measures. A sample confusion matrix is shown below:</p>
