All Implemented Interfaces:

ClassificationMeasure

public class FMeasure
extends java.lang.Object
implements ClassificationMeasure

The F-score (or F-measure) considers both the precision and the recall of the test to compute the score. The precision p is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of all positive results, and the recall r is the number of correct positive results divided by the number of positive results that should have been returned. The traditional or balanced F-score (F1 score) is the harmonic mean of precision and recall, where an F1 score reaches its best value at 1 and worst at 0. The general formula involves a positive real β so that F-score measures the effectiveness of retrieval with respect to a user who attaches β times as much importance to recall as precision.
