Metrics for Evaluating Performance of Logistic Regression












0












$begingroup$


I built a Logistic Regression model and I would like to evaluate the performance of the model. I would like to understand its evaluation metrics.



What do the metrics Sensitivity, Specificity, False Positives Rate, Precision, Recall, and Accuracy tell us about this model?
