- Downward trend: A downward trend indicates that the metric is improving. This means that model retraining is effective.
- Erratic or irregular variation: An erratic or irregular variation indicates that the feedback data is not consistent between evaluations. Increase the minimum sample size for the Quality monitor.
- Problem type: Binary classification
- Chart values: Last value in the timeframe
- Metrics details available: Confusion matrix
Do the math
The false positive rate is quotient of the total number of false positives that is divided by the sum of false positives and true negatives.
