Description
The dmcen.m function allows to compute the Diagonal Modified Confusion Entropy (DMCEN), which assess the performance of class-models jointly computed for k classes.
DMCEN is a versatile index regarding sensitivity (capability of each class-model to contain its own objects) and specificity (capability of the each class-model to reject foreign objects). DMCEN develops the idea that a classification model introduces an order in the objects of a dataset, capable of being measured by the decrease in entropy that it entails.
A detailed description of the algorithm and its properties for evaluating a k-class-model with respect to other indexes can be seen at:

Sintax:
[dmcen,dmcenid]=dmcen(S,w)
Inputs
  • S: sensitivity/specificity matrix. The diagonal of S is made up of the sensitivity of each class.
  • w: value between 0 and 1. It’s the weight for the convex combination between individual in-diagonal and the off-diagonal values of modified confusion entropy.
Outputs
  • dmcen: value of the k-class-model
  • dmcenid: vector with the k individual DMCEN values for each class
The function code indicates the relationship of some sentences to the equations defined in the above-mentioned paper.
