Binarynegativepredictivevalue

binarynegativepredictivevalue

Metric BinaryNegativePredictiveValue from torchmetrics (torchmetrics.classification.BinaryNegativePredictiveValue)

When to invoke this skill

The user has predictions + ground truth and asks to evaluate with BinaryNegativePredictiveValue, or mentions torchmetrics.classification.BinaryNegativePredictiveValue directly, or wants the standard torchmetrics implementation.

Reference signature

from torchmetrics.classification import BinaryNegativePredictiveValue

# BinaryNegativePredictiveValue(threshold: float = 0.5, multidim_average: Literal['global', 'samplewise'] = 'global', ignore_index: Optional[int] = None, validate_args: bool = True, **kwargs: Any) -> None

Library docstring

Compute `Negative Predictive Value`_ for binary tasks.

.. math:: \text{Negative Predictive Value} = \frac{\text{TN}}{\text{TN} + \text{FN}}

Where :math:`\text{TN}` and :math:`\text{FN}` represent the number of true negatives and false negatives
respectively. The metric is only proper defined when :math:`\text{TN} + \text{FN} \neq 0`. If this case is
encountered a score of 0 is returned.

As input to ``forward`` and ``update`` the metric accepts the following input:

- ``preds`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): An int or float tensor of shape ``(N, ...)``. If preds is a floating point
  tensor with values outside [0,1] range we consider the input to be logits and will auto apply sigmoid per
  element. Additionally, we convert to int tensor with thresholding using the value in ``threshold``.
- ``target`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): An int tensor of shape ``(N, ...)``

As output to ``forward`` and ``compute`` the metric returns the following output:

- ``npv`` (:class:`~torch.Tensor`): If ``multidim_average`` is set to ``global``, the metric returns a scalar value.
  If ``multidim_average`` is set to ``samplewise``, the metric returns ``(N,)`` vector consisting of a scalar value
  per sample.

If ``multidim_average`` is set to ``samplewise`` we expect at least one additional dimension ``...`` to be present,
which the reduction will then be applied over instead of the sample dimension ``N``.

Args:
    threshold: Threshold for transforming probability to binary {0,1} predictions
    multidim_average:
        Defines how additionally dimensions ``...`` should be handled. Should be one of the following:

        - ``global``: Additional dimensions are flatted along the batch dimension
        - ``samplewise``: Statistic will be calculated independently for each sample on the ``N`` axis.
          The statistics in this case are calculated over the additional dimensions.

    ignore_index:
        Specifies a target value that is ignored and does not contribute to the metric calculation
    validate_args: bool indicating if input arguments and tensors should be validated for correctness.
        Set to ``False`` for faster computations.

Quick recipe

import torchmetrics.classification as _m
score = _m.BinaryNegativePredictiveValue(y_true, y_pred)

Don'ts

• Don't reimplement when the library version handles edge cases (NaN, ties, empty inputs) better than a hand-rolled formula.
• Always check the library version's argument order — sklearn is (y_true, y_pred) while torchmetrics is (preds, target).
