Zero-one classification loss.
If normalize is True, return the fraction of misclassifications (float), else it returns the number of misclassifications (int). The best performance is 0.

Ground truth (correct) labels.
Predicted labels, as returned by a classifier.
If False, return the number of misclassifications. Otherwise, return the fraction of misclassifications.
Sample weights.
If normalize == True, return the fraction of misclassifications (float), else it returns the number of misclassifications (int).

accuracy_scoreCompute the accuracy score. By default, the function will return the fraction of correct predictions divided by the total number of predictions.
hamming_lossCompute the average Hamming loss or Hamming distance between two sets of samples.
jaccard_scoreCompute the Jaccard similarity coefficient score.
In multilabel classification, the zero_one_loss function corresponds to the subset zero-one loss: for each sample, the entire set of labels must be correctly predicted, otherwise the loss for that sample is equal to one.
>>> from sklearn.metrics import zero_one_loss >>> y_pred = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> y_true = [2, 2, 3, 4] >>> zero_one_loss(y_true, y_pred) 0.25 >>> zero_one_loss(y_true, y_pred, normalize=False) 1.0
In the multilabel case with binary label indicators:
>>> import numpy as np >>> zero_one_loss(np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1]]), np.ones((2, 2))) 0.5
