Understanding Confusion Matrix

The video tutorial explains how to use a confusion matrix to evaluate the performance of a classification model. It begins with an overview of various performance metrics, focusing on the confusion matrix. The process of dividing data into training and testing sets is discussed, followed by training the model. The structure and terms of the confusion matrix are explained, including true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. An example using a Decision Tree to predict football play is provided, and the results are analyzed using the confusion matrix.
