HI, Yaroslav

Thanks for your response! i also have a question about the compuation of
accuracy. in the tutorial the ACC was given by (TN+TP)/(N+P),  so given the
confusion matrix as
[[ 6  0  3  0  0  5  0  1]
 [ 0 10  0  0  0  0  0  0]
 [ 0  0  7  0  0  0  0  0]
 [ 0  2  0 12  0  0  0  0]
 [ 0  0  0  0 12  0  0  0]
 [ 2  0  1  0  0  6  0  0]
 [ 2  0  1  0  0  0 12  1]
 [ 2  0  0  0  0  1  0 10]]
P                12            12            12            12            12
           12            12            12
N                84            84            84            84            84
           84            84            84
TP               6             10            7             12            12
           6             12            10
TN               69            65            68            63            63
           69            63
N=84; P=12; TP for first column (bottle) is 6, FP=2+2+2=6, FN=3+5+1=9, so
what I really dont understand is how does the program give 69 for TN
(shouldn't it be 96-6-9-6=75?. any idea on how it was computed?

Tony

so how does the TN=
