Confusion Matrices and Accuracy Statistics for Binary Classifiers Using Unlabeled Data: The Diagnostic Test Approach

Machine Learning 2022-12-29 v2 Machine Learning Applications

Abstract

Medical researchers have solved the problem of estimating the sensitivity and specificity of binary medical diagnostic tests without gold standard tests for comparison. That problem is the same as estimating confusion matrices for classifiers on unlabeled data. This article describes how to modify the diagnostic test solutions to estimate confusion matrices and accuracy statistics for supervised or unsupervised binary classifiers on unlabeled data.
