calculating accuracy and confusion matrix

10 views (last 30 days)
I have used Classification Learner app for classifying 7 classes(happy, sad, angry, disgust, neutral, fear, surprise) I trained the model using SVM on the training set. Then used the trained model on the test set, it provided me labels as result, I want to calculate the accuracy rate and confusion matrix for the test set. Please help me to code it. I am new to MATLAB, and don't know how to code it.

Hi,
to compute the confusion matrix use:
confusionmat
command. Some examples are given in the confusionmat documentation.
If you have a Neural Network Toolbox™ license, you can plot the confusion matrix using
plotconfusion
which is described here.
For calculation of the accuracy you could calculate the error from your crossvalidated model using
crossval
command at first and then calculate the error in form using the
kfoldloss
command. This gives you the error from your test set for your model which should mean:
accuracy = 1 - kfoldloss
These steps are shown with examples here.
Best regards
Stephan
