evaluate

public double evaluate(Dataset<?> dataset)

Description copied from class: Evaluator

Evaluates model output and returns a scalar metric. The value of isLargerBetter specifies whether larger values are better.

Specified by:

evaluate in class Evaluator

Parameters:

dataset - a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions.

Returns:

metric

getMetrics

public RankingMetrics<Object> getMetrics(Dataset<?> dataset)

Get a RankingMetrics, which can be used to get ranking metrics such as meanAveragePrecision, meanAveragePrecisionAtK, etc.

Parameters:

dataset - a dataset that contains labels/observations and predictions.

Returns:

RankingMetrics

isLargerBetter

public boolean isLargerBetter()

Description copied from class: Evaluator

Indicates whether the metric returned by evaluate should be maximized (true, default) or minimized (false). A given evaluator may support multiple metrics which may be maximized or minimized.

Overrides:

isLargerBetter in class Evaluator

Returns:

(undocumented)

copy

public RankingEvaluator copy(ParamMap extra)

Description copied from interface: Params

Creates a copy of this instance with the same UID and some extra params. Subclasses should implement this method and set the return type properly. See defaultCopy().

copy in interface Params

Specified by:

copy in class Evaluator

Parameters:

extra - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

toString

public String toString()

Specified by:

toString in interface Identifiable

Overrides:

toString in class Object
