title = "Evaluating and comparing classifiers: Review, some recommendations and limitations",
abstract = "Performance evaluation of supervised classification learning method related to its prediction ability on independent data is very important in machine learning. It is also almost unthinkable to carry out any research work without the comparison of the new, proposed classifier with other already existing ones. This paper aims to review the most important aspects of the classifier evaluation process including the choice of evaluating metrics (scores) as well as the statistical comparison of classifiers. Critical view, recommendations and limitations of the reviewed methods are presented. The article provides a quick guide to understand the complexity of the classifier evaluation process and tries to warn the reader about the wrong habits.",
