Table 3 Quantitative evaluation metrics for accuracy verification.

From: Effects of non-landslide sampling strategies on machine learning models in landslide susceptibility mapping

Metrics

Equation

Description

Sensitivity

\(Sensitivity{ = }\frac{TP}{{TP + FN}}\)

The ratio of the number of landslides successfully classified as landslides to the total number of landslides

Specificity

\(Specificity{ = }\frac{TN}{{FP + TN}}\)

The ratio of the number of successfully classified non-landslides to the total number of non-landslides

Precision

\(Precision{ = }\frac{TP}{{TP + FP}}\)

The ratio of correct landslide results to the number of landslide results predicted by the classifier

Accuracy

\(Accuracy{ = }\frac{TP + TN}{{TP + FP + TN + FN}}\)

The ratio of correctly predicted landslide and non-landslide samples to the total number of samples

F1-score

\({\text{F}}1{\text{ - score}} = 2 \times \frac{Precision \times Sensitivity}{{Precision + Sensitivity}}\)

Both precision and sensitivity metrics are considered together
