Precision Intermediate

Of predicted positives, the fraction that are truly positive; sensitive to false positives.

Foundations & Theory
PR Curve Intermediate

Often more informative than ROC on imbalanced datasets; focuses on positive class performance.

Evaluation & Benchmarking
Recall Intermediate

Of true positives, the fraction correctly identified; sensitive to false negatives.

Foundations & Theory
ROC Curve Intermediate

Plots true positive rate vs false positive rate across thresholds; summarizes separability.

Foundations & Theory

AI in Law
Bellman Equation Intermediate

Fundamental recursive relationship defining optimal value functions.

AI Economics & Strategy
AUC Intermediate

Scalar summary of ROC; measures ranking ability, not calibration.

Foundations & Theory
Confusion Matrix Intermediate

A table summarizing classification outcomes, foundational for metrics like precision, recall, specificity.
