Abstract

This paper analyzes a generalization of a new metric to evaluate the classification performance in imbalanced domains, combining some estimate of the overall accuracy with a plain index about how dominant the class with the highest individual accuracy is. A theoretical analysis shows the merits of this metric when compared to other well-known measures.
