ENVIConfusionMatrix::F1

The F1 function method returns the F1 score, which is the harmonic mean of the User Accuracy and Producer Accuracy values:

The result is an array with one value per class.

In the confusion matrix below, the F1 value is calculated as follows:

Asphalt: 0.995617

Concrete: 0.991045

Grass: 0.995068

Tree: 0.989051

Building: 0.992267

Return Value

This function method returns the F1 score from a confusion matrix.

Syntax

Result = ENVIConfusionMatrix.F1([, ERROR=variable])

Arguments

None

Keywords

ERROR (optional)

Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain any error message issued during execution of this routine. If no error occurs, the ERROR variable will be set to a null string (''). If an error occurs and the routine is a function, then the function result will be undefined.

When this keyword is not set and an error occurs, ENVI returns to the caller and execution halts. In this case, the error message is contained within !ERROR_STATE and can be caught using IDL's CATCH routine. See IDL Help for more information on !ERROR_STATE and CATCH.

See Manage Errors for more information on error handling in ENVI programming.
