Table 11 Metrics for SCN classification

From: Soybean cyst nematode detection and management: a review

Classification evaluation metric

Importance

Detection rate

Early prediction of nematodes infestation is a key factor to reduce the disease spread in soybean. High detection rate is desired.

False alarm rate

Models with low false alarm rate can prevent farmers from spending money on mitigation techniques or cultivate soybean especially that its price keeps increasing.

Miss-detection rate

Miss detection of nematodes in soybean can be costly as farmers can experience yield loss and will detect nematodes infestation

Accuracy

This metric combines the previous metrics and higher values of accuracy is required
