Abstract: Abstract Almost any use of a data mining and sub data mining sub knowledge discovery, see data mining knowledge discovery method on a data set requires some discussion on the accuracy of the extracted model on some test data. This accuracy can be a general description of how well the extracted model classifies test data. Some studies split this sub accuracy rate accuracy rate into two rates: the sub false-positive false-positive and sub false-negative false-negative rates. This distinction might be more appropriate for most real-life applications. For instance, it is one thing to wrongly diagnose a benign tumor as malignant than the other way around. Related are some of the discussions in Sections 1.3.4, 4.5, and 11.6.
