Confusion Matrix Results Sensitivity

15 views (last 30 days)
How do I calculate the sensitivity and specificity with the confusionmat command? What is the position of TP, FP, FN, TN in the confusion matrix provided by matlab? I use the "confusionmat".

Just use the following.
[cm, order] = confusionmat(real_values,predicted_values)
Assuming your confusionmatrix is 2x2, it will look like this:
%CONFUSIONMAT OUTPUT
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% predicted
% | 0 1
% r -----------
% e 0 | TN FP
% a 1 | FN TP
% l
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
*EDIT
confusionmat() does not calculate sensitivity, accuracy, F-score and those kind of derivations for you, you need to do them yourself. Just check this out, it's pretty easy.

Matlab does not calculate the measures (Fscore, TNR, TPR). So why does it provide the following command: accuracy = mean (diag (confMat))?
