Measuring Classification Decision Certainty and Doubt

Machine Learning 2023-03-29 v2 Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning Differential Geometry Probability

Abstract

Quantitative characterizations and estimations of uncertainty are of fundamental importance in optimization and decision-making processes. Herein, we propose intuitive scores, which we call certainty and doubt, that can be used in both a Bayesian and frequentist framework to assess and compare the quality and uncertainty of predictions in (multi-)classification decision machine learning problems.
