NAME

AI::ConfusionMatrix - make a confusion matrix

SYNOPSIS

    my %matrix;

    # Loop over your predictions
    # [...]

    $matrix{$expected}{$predicted} += 1;

    # [...]

    makeConfusionMatrix(\%matrix, 'output.csv');

DESCRIPTION

This module prints a confusion matrix from a hash reference. This module tries to be generic enough to be used within a lot of machine learning projects.

Functions:

makeConfusionMatrix($hash_ref, $file [, $delimiter ])

This function makes a confusion matrix from $hash_ref and writes it to $file. $file can be a filename or a file handle opened with the w+ mode. If $delimiter is present, it is used as a custom separator for the fields in the confusion matrix.

Examples:

    makeConfusionMatrix(\%matrix, 'output.csv');
    makeConfusionMatrix(\%matrix, 'output.csv', ';');
    makeConfusionMatrix(\%matrix, *$fh);

The hash reference must look like this :

    $VAR1 = {
              'value_expected1' => {
                          'value_predicted1' => number_of_predictions
                        },
              'value_expected2' => {
                          'value_predicted1' => number_of_predictions,
                          'value_predicted2' => number_of_predictions
                        },
              'value_expected3' => {
                          'value_predicted3' => number_of_predictions
                        }
            };

The output will be in CSV. Here is an example:
