Evaluation Metrics Suite

The sklearn.fit() Trap

Here is how most tutorials teach evaluation metrics:

python

Two lines. Clean output. The trap is not that this code is wrong — it is
entirely correct. The trap is that it answers none of the questions you
actually need to answer as an engineer:

  • What exactly is "weighted avg F1" computing, and when does it lie to you?

  • Why does your AUC drop from 0.91 to 0.74 when you switch from macro to micro?

  • What happens to Precision and Recall when your model predicts the same class
    for every single input? (Hint: one of them becomes NaN silently.)

  • How do you pick a decision threshold for a fraud detector where a false
    negative costs 100x more than a false positive?

classification_report cannot teach you these things because it does not show
you the math. It shows you the answer. This lesson shows you the math — as
executable NumPy code so it explains itself.

The Failure Mode

Let's say you implement Precision naively:

python

Run this on a model that predicts all zeros (a common degenerate baseline):

Code

Fine — you catch that. But now you move to NumPy:

python
