Computes the precision of the predictions with respect to the labels

metric_precision(
...,
thresholds = NULL,
top_k = NULL,
class_id = NULL,
name = NULL,
dtype = NULL
)

## Arguments

... Passed on to the underlying metric. Used for forwards and backwards compatibility. (Optional) A float value or a list of float threshold values in [0, 1]. A threshold is compared with prediction values to determine the truth value of predictions (i.e., above the threshold is true, below is false). One metric value is generated for each threshold value. If neither thresholds nor top_k are set, the default is to calculate precision with thresholds=0.5. (Optional) Unset by default. An int value specifying the top-k predictions to consider when calculating precision. (Optional) Integer class ID for which we want binary metrics. This must be in the half-open interval [0, num_classes), where num_classes is the last dimension of predictions. (Optional) string name of the metric instance. (Optional) data type of the metric result.

## Value

A (subclassed) Metric instance that can be passed directly to compile(metrics = ), or used as a standalone object. See ?Metric for example usage.

## Details

The metric creates two local variables, true_positives and false_positives that are used to compute the precision. This value is ultimately returned as precision, an idempotent operation that simply divides true_positives by the sum of true_positives and false_positives.

If sample_weight is NULL, weights default to 1. Use sample_weight of 0 to mask values.

If top_k is set, we'll calculate precision as how often on average a class among the top-k classes with the highest predicted values of a batch entry is correct and can be found in the label for that entry.

If class_id is specified, we calculate precision by considering only the entries in the batch for which class_id is above the threshold and/or in the top-k highest predictions, and computing the fraction of them for which class_id is indeed a correct label.
