DerivedRankBasedMetric
- class DerivedRankBasedMetric(base_cls=None, **kwargs)[source]
Bases:
RankBasedMetric
,ABC
A derived rank-based metric.
The derivation is based on an affine transformation of the metric, where scale and bias may depend on the number of candidates. Since the transformation only depends on the number of candidates, but not the ranks of the predictions, this method can also be used to adjust published results without access to the trained models. Moreover, we can obtain closed form solutions for expected value and variance.
Let \(\alpha, \beta\) denote the scale and offset of the affine transformation, i.e.,
\[M^* = \alpha \cdot M + \beta\]Then we have for the expectation
\[\mathbb{E}[M^*] = \mathbb{E}[\alpha \cdot M + \beta] = \alpha \cdot \mathbb{E}[M] + \beta\]and for the variance
\[\mathbb{V}[M^*] = \mathbb{V}[\alpha \cdot M + \beta] = \alpha^2 \cdot \mathbb{V}[M]\]Initialize the derived metric.

Methods Documentation
- adjust(base_metric_result, num_candidates, weights=None)[source]
Adjust base metric results based on the number of candidates.
- Parameters
- Return type
- Returns
the adjusted metric
Note
since the adjustment only depends on the number of candidates, but not the ranks of the predictions, this method can also be used to adjust published results without access to the trained models.
- expected_value(num_candidates, num_samples=None, weights=None, **kwargs)[source]
Compute expected metric value.
The expectation is computed under the assumption that each individual rank follows a discrete uniform distribution \(\mathcal{U}\left(1, N_i\right)\), where \(N_i\) denotes the number of candidates for ranking task \(r_i\).
- Parameters
num_candidates (
ndarray
) – the number of candidates for each individual rank computationnum_samples (
Optional
[int
]) – the number of samples to use for simulation, if no closed form expected value is implementedweights (
Optional
[ndarray
]) – shape: s the weights for the individual ranking taskskwargs – additional keyword-based parameters passed to
get_sampled_values()
, if no closed form solution is available
- Return type
- Returns
the expected value of this metric
- Raises
NoClosedFormError – raised if a closed form expectation has not been implemented and no number of samples are given
Note
Prefers analytical solution, if available, but falls back to numeric estimation via summation, cf.
RankBasedMetric.numeric_expected_value()
.
- extra_repr()
