Abstract
The precision-recall plot is more informative than the ROC plot when evaluating classifiers on imbalanced datasets, but fast and accurate curve calculation tools for precision-recall plots are currently not available. We have developed Precrec, an R library that aims to overcome this limitation of the plot. Our tool provides fast and accurate precision-recall calculations together with multiple functionalities that work efficiently under different conditions. Precrec is licensed under GPL-3 and freely available from CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=precrec). It is implemented in R with C ++. takaya.saito@ii.uib.noSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
