# sklearn.metrics.jaccard_similarity_score¶

Warning

DEPRECATED

sklearn.metrics.jaccard_similarity_score(y_true, y_pred, normalize=True, sample_weight=None)[source]

Jaccard similarity coefficient score

Deprecated since version 0.21: This is deprecated to be removed in 0.23, since its handling of binary and multiclass inputs was broken. jaccard_score has an API that is consistent with precision_score, f_score, etc.

Parameters: y_true : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix Ground truth (correct) labels. y_pred : 1d array-like, or label indicator array / sparse matrix Predicted labels, as returned by a classifier. normalize : bool, optional (default=True) If False, return the sum of the Jaccard similarity coefficient over the sample set. Otherwise, return the average of Jaccard similarity coefficient. sample_weight : array-like of shape = [n_samples], optional Sample weights. score : float If normalize == True, return the average Jaccard similarity coefficient, else it returns the sum of the Jaccard similarity coefficient over the sample set. The best performance is 1 with normalize == True and the number of samples with normalize == False.

Notes

In binary and multiclass classification, this function is equivalent to the accuracy_score. It differs in the multilabel classification problem.
