plot_confusion_matrix() python example

Example 1: confusion matrix python

By definition, entry i,j in a confusion matrix is the number of 
observations actually in group i, but predicted to be in group j. 
Scikit-Learn provides a confusion_matrix function:

from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
y_actu = [2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 0, 1, 2]
y_pred = [0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 2, 0, 2, 2]
confusion_matrix(y_actu, y_pred)
# Output
# array([[3, 0, 0],
#        [0, 1, 2],
#        [2, 1, 3]], dtype=int64)

Example 2: compute confusion matrix using python

import numpy as np

currentDataClass = [1, 3, 3, 2, 5, 5, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1, 2]
predictedClass = [1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 5, 1, 1]

def comp_confmat(actual, predicted):

    classes = np.unique(actual) # extract the different classes
    matrix = np.zeros((len(classes), len(classes))) # initialize the confusion matrix with zeros

    for i in range(len(classes)):
        for j in range(len(classes)):

            matrix[i, j] = np.sum((actual == classes[i]) & (predicted == classes[j]))

    return matrix

comp_confmat(currentDataClass, predictedClass)

array([[3., 0., 0., 0., 1.],
       [2., 1., 0., 1., 0.],
       [0., 1., 3., 0., 0.],
       [0., 1., 0., 0., 0.],
       [0., 1., 1., 0., 0.]])
