Generalized Confusion Matrix For Multiple Classes

This document presents a generalized format for a confusion matrix with multiple classes and equations to calculate performance metrics like precision, recall, and specificity for each class. The confusion matrix table shows the predicted versus actual classifications with n classes. Equations 1-4 are used to calculate false negatives, false positives, true negatives for each class from the matrix. Equations 5-7 then calculate the precision, recall, and specificity for each class. Equation 8 provides an overall accuracy measure for the system.

Generalized Confusion Matrix for Multiple Classes

This document was made due to the lack of resources to reference for confusion matrix
with multiple classes and no generalized formulae are used for calculating the precision,
recall, specificity, and overall accuracy of the system having many classes to consider.

The following table shows a sample format of a confusion matrix with n classes:

Predicted Number
Class 1 Class 2 … Class n
Class 1 𝑥11 𝑥12 … 𝑥1𝑛
Actual Number

Class 2 𝑥21 𝑥22 … 𝑥2𝑛


. . . . .
. . . . .
. . . . .
Class n 𝑥𝑛1 𝑥𝑛2 … 𝑥𝑛𝑛

The total numbers of false negative (TFN), false positive (TFP), and true
negative (TTN) for each class i will be calculated based on the Generalized
Equations 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The total true positive in the system will
be obtained through Equation 4.

To compute the generalized precision (P), recall (R), and specificity(S) for
each class i Generalized Equations 5, 6, and 7 will be used.
