Matthews Correlation Coefficient¶

Module Interface¶

class torchmetrics.MatthewsCorrCoef(**kwargs)[source]¶

Calculate Matthews correlation coefficient .

This metric measures the general correlation or quality of a classification.

This function is a simple wrapper to get the task specific versions of this metric, which is done by setting the task argument to either 'binary', 'multiclass' or 'multilabel'. See the documentation of BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef, MulticlassMatthewsCorrCoef and MultilabelMatthewsCorrCoef for the specific details of each argument influence and examples.

Legacy Example:

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> target = tensor([1, 1, 0, 0])
>>> preds = tensor([0, 1, 0, 0])
>>> matthews_corrcoef = MatthewsCorrCoef(task='binary')
>>> matthews_corrcoef(preds, target)
tensor(0.5774)

static __new__(cls, task, threshold=0.5, num_classes=None, num_labels=None, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Initialize task metric.

Return type:: Metric

BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef¶

class torchmetrics.classification.BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef(threshold=0.5, ignore_index=None, validate_args=True, **kwargs)[source]¶

Calculate Matthews correlation coefficient for binary tasks.

This metric measures the general correlation or quality of a classification.

As input to forward and update the metric accepts the following input:

preds (Tensor): A int tensor or float tensor of shape (N, ...). If preds is a floating point tensor with values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per element. Additionally, we convert to int tensor with thresholding using the value in threshold.
target (Tensor): An int tensor of shape (N, ...)

Tip

Additional dimension ... will be flattened into the batch dimension.

As output to forward and compute the metric returns the following output:

bmcc (Tensor): A tensor containing the Binary Matthews Correlation Coefficient.

Parameters:

threshold¶ (float) – Threshold for transforming probability to binary (0,1) predictions
ignore_index¶ (Optional[int]) – Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation
validate_args¶ (bool) – bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness. Set to False for faster computations.
kwargs¶ (Any) – Additional keyword arguments, see Advanced metric settings for more info.

Example (preds is int tensor):

>>> from torch import tensor
>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef
>>> target = tensor([1, 1, 0, 0])
>>> preds = tensor([0, 1, 0, 0])
>>> metric = BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef()
>>> metric(preds, target)
tensor(0.5774)

Example (preds is float tensor):

>>> from torchmetrics.classification import BinaryMatthewsCorrCoef
>>> target = tensor([1, 1, 0, 0])
>>> preds = tensor([0.35, 0.85, 0.48, 0.01])
