Maximizing Diagonal of a Contingency Table by Permuting Columns
Permuting Columns of a Square Contingency Table to Maximize its Diagonal In machine learning, clustering is often used as a preprocessing step to prepare data for other algorithms. However, sometimes the labels obtained from clustering are not meaningful or interpretable. One way to overcome this issue is by creating a contingency table (also known as a confusion matrix) between the predicted labels and the true labels.
A square contingency table represents the number of observations that belong to each pair of classes in two categories.
