Baseline

Evaluating a classifier relative to an appropriate baseline is important. This is especially true for imbalanced datasets, such as ad click-through, because high accuracy can easily be achieved through always selecting the majority class. In this exercise, you will simulate a baseline classifier that always predicts the majority class (non-click) and look at its confusion matrix, as well as what its precision and recall are.

X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test are available in your workspace. pandas as pd, numpy as np, and sklearn are also available in your workspace.

Instrucciones del ejercicio

  • Create y_pred an array of zeros with the same length as X_test using np.asarray().
  • Print the resulting confusion matrix.
  • Get the precision and recall scores.

# Set up baseline predictions
y_pred = np.____([0 for x in range(len(X_test))])

# Look at confusion matrix
print("Confusion matrix: ")
print(____(y_test, y_pred))

# Check precision and recall
prec = ____(y_test, y_pred, average = 'weighted')
recall = ____(y_test, y_pred, average = 'weighted')
print("Precision: %s, Recall: %s" %(prec, recall))
