Precision-recall curve

Another way to evaluate model performance is using a precision-recall curve, which shows the tradeoff between precision and recall for different thresholds.

Possible Answers

This curves summarize the tradeoff between the true positive rate and the positive predictive value.
A high area under the curve represents both high recall and high precision.
Recall is synonymous with specificity, and precision is identical with positive predictive value.
Precision-recall curves tend to be more informative when you have imbalanced classes.
