hamming_loss
(y_true, y_pred, *, sample_weight=None)[source]¶ Compute the average Hamming loss.
The Hamming loss is the fraction of labels that are incorrectly predicted.

- Parameters
- y_true1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Ground truth (correct) labels.
- y_pred1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix
Predicted labels, as returned by a classifier.
- sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None
Sample weights.
New in version 0.18.
- Returns
- lossfloat or int
Return the average Hamming loss between element of
y_true
andy_pred
.

Notes
In multiclass classification, the Hamming loss corresponds to the Hamming distance between
y_true
andy_pred
which is equivalent to the subsetzero_one_loss
function, whennormalize
parameter is set to True.In multilabel classification, the Hamming loss is different from the subset zero-one loss. The zero-one loss considers the entire set of labels for a given sample incorrect if it does not entirely match the true set of labels. Hamming loss is more forgiving in that it penalizes only the individual labels.
The Hamming loss is upperbounded by the subset zero-one loss, when
normalize
parameter is set to True. It is always between 0 and 1, lower being better.References

Examples
>>> from sklearn.metrics import hamming_loss >>> y_pred = [1, 2, 3, 4] >>> y_true = [2, 2, 3, 4] >>> hamming_loss(y_true, y_pred) 0.25
In the multilabel case with binary label indicators:
>>> import numpy as np >>> hamming_loss(np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1]]), np.zeros((2, 2))) 0.75
