Sensitivity/Specificity/Accuracy

		Predict	Predict
True	1	TP	FN	Sens=TP/(TP+FN)
True	0	FP	TN	Spec=TN/(FP+TN)
				N = TP + FP + FN + TN

• Sensitivity = TP / (TP + FN)
• Specificity = TN / (TN + FP)
• Accuracy = (TP + TN) / (TP + FP +FN + TN)

Bagging

Chapter 8 of the book.

• Bootstrap mean is approximately a posterior average.
• Bootstrap aggregation or bagging average: Average the prediction over a collection of bootstrap samples, thereby reducing its variance. The bagging estimate is defined by

[math]\displaystyle{ \hat{f}_{bag}(x) = \frac{1}{B}\sum_{b=1}^B \hat{f}^{*b}(x). }[/math]
