Abstract in brief
The text explains that while accuracy and F1 score are commonly used to evaluate binary classification models, they can give overly optimistic results, especially with imbalanced datasets.
The Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) is presented as a more reliable metric because it considers all parts of the confusion matrix (true positives, false negatives, true negatives, false positives) and provides a balanced view of the model's performance.
The author argues that MCC offers more truthful and informative assessments of binary classification tasks and should be preferred over accuracy and F1 score in scientific research and applications.]
Reading ML bio literature, I noticed Matthews correlation coefficient (vs other metrics for assessing ML classifiers) is quite popular. Usually, I stick to precision, recall, and F1 for interpretability reasons, but this article is really convincing: https://t.co/JcKdC4ejRd

If you want to score your model with a statistical metric, use MCC - it’s the most difficult to „please” and balances precision/recall way better than F1. Whenever I score with Sharpe/Sortino, I always check MCC as a support to analyze accuracy. https://t.co/bhAp1l1qXR

@svpino I really liked this one because I usually I don't think too hard about the beta and just use it as F1. As a side-note, I really got to like MCC; there was a convincing article on that (https://t.co/JcKdC4ejRd) that I ~recently read https://t.co/vGOalhUllO

@nomad421 @michaelhoffman @MaartenvSmeden My metric of preference is Matthews correlation coefficient (or Phi Coefficient). To me it seems to strike the right balance since all TP, TN, FP, & FN, are penalized/rewarded with equal weights https://t.co/43vP78KL0j

Thanks @DJGould94 ! This is part of a series of papers that @DavideChicco_it and I wrote to compare MCC with other metrics.
The first one is https://t.co/Y1nY9bXXCo, dealing with Accuracy and F1, while later other measures followed, and the series is not over yet! https://t.co/vhg5gfrio6

In "The advantages of the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) over F1 score and accuracy in binary classification evaluation" they propose: MCC as a better metric. It should be easy to determine if it creates better business outcomes.
