"I doubt the accuracy is calculated right?"

Hi the international RM team,

I run a neural network binary classification process which the performance is evaluated with an X-Validation operator (10-fold). I receive an astonishing result:
the accuracy is : 100%, but the precision = 97.2% and also the recall=97.2%!!!

The equation for calculating accuracy is: (TP+TN)/ (TP+TN+FP+FN)
the precision can be calculated as : TP/TP+FP; So if the accuracy =100%. then FP=0 and consequently, precision=100.

Do I misunderstand something? Please explain me. any help to eliminate my doubt would be appreciated.

Thanks.

    From your description something seems to be wrong. Can you please provide your process and the data?

    Hi Marius,

    I think I found the problem, RM delivers "Weighted Mean Precision", I think this is not the precision which I wrote the equation for, in my previous post.  RM also delivers "mikro average" in parenthesis just infront of the "Weighted Mean Precision". The micro average adheres to the equation which I wrote. Would you please explain me which precision should I use? I mean weighted mean or the mikro one?

    Thanks again
