Precision

Module Interface

class torchmetrics.Precision(task: Literal['binary', 'multiclass', 'multilabel'], threshold: float = 0.5, num_classes: Optional[int] = None, num_labels: Optional[int] = None, average: Optional[Literal['micro', 'macro', 'weighted', 'none']] = 'micro', multidim_average: Optional[Literal['global', 'samplewise']] = 'global', top_k: Optional[int] = 1, ignore_index: Optional[int] = None, validate_args: bool = True, **kwargs: Any)[source]

Computes Precision:

\text{Precision} = \frac{\text{TP}}{\text{TP} + \text{FP}}

Where \text{TP} and \text{FP} represent the number of true positives and false positives respecitively.

This function is a simple wrapper to get the task specific versions of this metric, which is done by setting the task argument to either 'binary', 'multiclass' or multilabel. See the documentation of BinaryPrecision, MulticlassPrecision() and MultilabelPrecision() for the specific details of each argument influence and examples.

Legacy Example:
>>> import torch
>>> preds  = torch.tensor([2, 0, 2, 1])
>>> target = torch.tensor([1, 1, 2, 0])
>>> precision = Precision(task="multiclass", average='macro', num_classes=3)
>>> precision(preds, target)
tensor(0.1667)
>>> precision = Precision(task="multiclass", average='micro', num_classes=3)
>>> precision(preds, target)
tensor(0.2500)

BinaryPrecision

class torchmetrics.classification.BinaryPrecision(threshold=0.5, multidim_average='global', ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]

Computes Precision for binary tasks:

\text{Precision} = \frac{\text{TP}}{\text{TP} + \text{FP}}

Where \text{TP} and \text{FP} represent the number of true positives and false positives respecitively.

As input to forward and update the metric accepts the following input:

  • preds (Tensor): A int or float tensor of shape (N, ...). If preds is a floating point tensor with values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element. Addtionally, we convert to int tensor with thresholding using the value in threshold.

  • target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, ...).

As output to forward and compute the metric returns the following output:

  • bp (Tensor): If multidim_average is set to global, the metric returns a scalar value. If multidim_average is set to samplewise, the metric returns (N,) vector consisting of a scalar value per sample.

Parameters
  • threshold (float) – Threshold for transforming probability to binary {0,1} predictions

  • multidim_average (Literal[‘global’, ‘samplewise’]) –

    Defines how additionally dimensions ... should be handled. Should be one of the following:

    • global: Additional dimensions are flatted along the batch dimension

    • samplewise: Statistic will be calculated independently for each sample on the N axis. The statistics in this case are calculated over the additional dimensions.

  • ignore_index (Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation

  • validate_args (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.

>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinaryPrecision
