Test with permutations the significance of a classification score¶
In order to test if a classification score is significative a technique in repeating the classification procedure after randomizing, permuting, the labels. The p-value is then given by the percentage of runs for which the score obtained is greater than the classification score obtained in the first place.
Out:
Classification score 0.5133333333333333 (pvalue : 0.009900990099009901)
