Table 6 Summary of performance evaluation metrics.

From: Segmentation-enhanced approach for emotion detection from EEG signals using the fuzzy C-mean and SVM

Metric

Definition

Purpose in emotion classification

Accuracy

Proportion of total correct predictions (TP + TN)/(TP + TN + FP + FN)

Measures overall performance across all classes

Precision

TP/(TP + FP)

Measures correctness of positive predictions

Recall (sensitivity)

TP/(TP + FN)

Indicates how well the model detects actual positives (emotions)

F1-score

Harmonic mean of precision and recall

Balances false positives and false negatives

Confusion matrix

Matrix showing predicted versus actual class counts

Visual representation of model’s classification accuracy by class

AUC-ROC

Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve

Evaluates the ability to distinguish between emotion classes
