Abstract:
The precision-recall plot is more informative than the ROC plot when evaluating classifiers on imbalanced datasets, but fast and accurate curve calculation tools for precision-recall plots are currently not available. We have developed Precrec, an R library that aims to overcome this limitation of the plot. Our tool provides fast and accurate precision-recall calculations together with multiple functionalities that work efficiently under different conditions.
Availability And Implementation:
Precrec is licensed under GPL-3 and freely available from CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=precrec). It is implemented in R with C ++.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
