Precision, Recall, and F1 Score Metrics. Which one Matters Most?
In the statistical world, in my simple mind, precision was the golden metric for gauging whether your model was performing as it was supposed to. That is partially correct. But precision alone will only give you a partial image of the model's performance. For a full picture, you will need to check other gauges — Recall and F1 Score.
About
I am a veteran. I spent years in intelligence analysis, where being confidently wrong carried a cost, and that is where I learned to separate what evidence shows from what it suggests. I have a master's in journalism and communications, and I am finishing a doctorate in data science on how findings get communicated. I work in English and Portuguese.
