Solution

The confusion matrix is an evaluation method used for Classification.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. A confusion matrix is a table that is often used to describe the performance of a classification model (or "classifier") on a set of test data for which the true values are known.

  2. It allows for the visualization of the performance of an algorithm. It contains information about actual and predicted classifications done by the classifier.

  3. It's called a confusion matrix because it shows how confused your model is for each class. For example, it can show how many times your model predicted a class correctly and how many times it made a mistake.

  4. The confusion matrix itself is relatively simple to understand, but the related terminology can be confusing. The matrix is a 2x2 table that contains 4 outputs provided by the binary classifier. Various measures, such as error-rate, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision and recall are derived from it.

  5. So, to answer your question, a confusion matrix is used in Classification, not in Clustering or Regression.
