Precision-Recall AUC/Evidence
Method evidence record

Precision-Recall AUC

The Precision-Recall Area Under the Curve (PR AUC) is the area under the curve formed by plotting recall on the x-axis and precision on the y-axis. It is particularly useful for evaluating classifiers on imbalanced datasets, where it is often more informative than ROC AUC.
