Reliability Diagram
A visualization tool for evaluating the calibration quality of probabilistic predictions. It groups predicted probabilities into bins and compares each bin with the actual correctness rate, directly showing the calibration level of a forecasting system.
Core Facts
Calibration is typically visualized using a reliability diagram (calibration curve), with confidence on the horizontal axis and the actual accuracy of samples in that interval on the vertical axis.
Commonly used calibration evaluation metrics include Expected Calibration Error (ECE) and Reliability Diagrams.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Calibrated probability is a foundational concept in statistics and machine learning; commonly used measurement metrics include reliability diagrams and expected calibration error (ECE), and commonly used post-processing calibration methods include Platt scaling, Isotonic regression, or temperature scaling.
The Brier score and reliability diagrams are the most commonly used calibration measurement tools, and both require the existence of a table mapping predicted values to true outcomes.
Binning/bucketing is the practice of slicing continuous reported values into intervals and then computing the actual hit rate bucket by bucket, and its key discipline is to set the buckets before looking at the data, otherwise it creates an illusion of calibration.
A reliability diagram is the visual form of ECE; an ideally calibrated model should display a diagonal line on the diagram.
