Function Reference: confusionchart

statistics: confusionchart (trueLabels, predictedLabels)
statistics: confusionchart (m)
statistics: confusionchart (m, classLabels)
statistics: confusionchart (parent, …)
statistics: confusionchart (…, prop, val, …)
statistics: cm = confusionchart (…)

Display a chart of a confusion matrix.

The two vectors of values trueLabels and predictedLabels, which are used to compute the confusion matrix, must be defined with the same format as the inputs of confusionmat. Otherwise a confusion matrix m as computed by confusionmat can be given.

classLabels is an array of labels, i.e. the list of the class names.

If the first argument is a handle to a figure or to a uipanel, then the confusion matrix chart is displayed inside that object.

Optional property/value pairs are passed directly to the underlying objects, e.g. "xlabel", "ylabel", "title", "fontname", "fontsize" etc.

The optional return value cm is a ConfusionMatrixChart object. Specific properties of a ConfusionMatrixChart object are:

  • "DiagonalColor" The color of the patches on the diagonal, default is [0.0, 0.4471, 0.7412].
  • "OffDiagonalColor" The color of the patches off the diagonal, default is [0.851, 0.3255, 0.098].
  • "GridVisible" Available values: on (default), off.
  • "Normalization" Available values: absolute (default), column-normalized, row-normalized, total-normalized.
  • "ColumnSummary" Available values: off (default), absolute, column-normalized,total-normalized.
  • "RowSummary" Available values: off (default), absolute, row-normalized, total-normalized.

 ## Setting the chart properties
 Yt = [8 5 6 8 5 3 1 6 4 2 5 3 1 4]';
 Yp = [8 5 6 8 5 2 3 4 4 5 5 7 2 6]';
 confusionchart (Yt, Yp, "Title", ...
   "Demonstration with summaries","Normalization",...
   "absolute","ColumnSummary", "column-normalized","RowSummary",...
   "row-normalized")

ans =

ConfusionMatrixChart with properties:

	NormalizedValues: [ 8x8 double ]
	ClassLabels: { 8x1 cell }
plotted figure

Example: 2

  

 ## Cellstr as inputs
 Yt = {"Positive", "Positive", "Positive", "Negative", "Negative"};
 Yp = {"Positive", "Positive", "Negative", "Negative", "Negative"};
 m = confusionmat (Yt, Yp);
 confusionchart (m, {"Positive", "Negative"});
plotted figure

Example: 3

  

 ## Editing the object properties
 Yt = {"Positive", "Positive", "Positive", "Negative", "Negative"};
 Yp = {"Positive", "Positive", "Negative", "Negative", "Negative"};
 cm = confusionchart (Yt, Yp);
 cm.Title = "This is an example with a green diagonal";
 cm.DiagonalColor = [0.4660, 0.6740, 0.1880];
plotted figure

Example: 5

  

 ## Sorting classes
 Yt = [8 5 6 8 5 3 1 6 4 2 5 3 1 4]';
 Yp = [8 5 6 8 5 2 3 4 4 5 5 7 2 6]';
 cm = confusionchart (Yt, Yp, "Title", ...
   "Classes are sorted in ascending order");
 cm = confusionchart (Yt, Yp, "Title", ...
   "Classes are sorted according to clusters");
 sortClasses (cm, "cluster");
