How do Precision and Recall trade-off in a classification problem, and when might you prioritize one over the other?

  • Increasing Precision decreases Recall, prioritize Precision when false positives are costly
  • Increasing Precision increases Recall, prioritize Recall when false positives are costly
  • Precision and Recall are independent, no trade-off
  • nan
Precision and Recall often trade-off; increasing one can decrease the other. You might prioritize Precision when false positives are more costly (e.g., spam detection) and Recall when false negatives are more costly (e.g., fraud detection).
