    encountered as well as other errors were found that could have possibly occurred. These problems or errors will impact my % accuracy and therefore the quality of my results. Ideally no problems would occur‚ and I would be able to complete the experiment without any errors occurring which would therefore give me a perfect result. I tried to work with total precision and accuracy however my results still had many errors that occurred. The first major error that could have occurred was when making our

    The precision for a class is the number of true positives (i.e. the number of items correctly labelled as belonging to the positive class) divided by the total number of elements labelled as belonging to the positive class (i.e. the sum of true positives and false positives‚ which are items incorrectly labelled as belonging to the class). Precision=(Number of true positives)/(Number of false positives+Number of true positives)

    By repeating each test for the different colours of light three times‚ it was possible to calculate the mean of the results‚ as well as determine the precision of the results and determine outlying figures. Conducting multiple tests also allows for conclusions regarding the precision and accuracy of the experiment to be made more confidently and easily. Another strong point in the method was lining the boxes containing the samples with aluminium foil to create a reflective

    Accuracy‚ inaccuracy and uncertainty: The term accuracy describes the maximum expected error associated with a measurement (or a sensor) and may be expressed as an absolute value or as a percentage of the range of the system. For example‚ the accuracy of a vehicle speed sensor might be given as ±1 mph or as ±0.5 percent of the full-scale reading. Strictly speaking‚ this is actually a measure of its inaccuracy‚ and for this reason the term uncertainty is sometimes used. • Precision. This
