What is F-Score

Handbook of Research on Engineering, Business, and Healthcare Applications of Data Science and Analytics
F-score is a statistical measure which expresses the balance between the precision and the recall. It considers both the precision p and the recall r of the test to compute accuracy. It is the harmonic mean of the precision and recall with its best value at 1 and worst at 0.

Abstract
Data science is a fast-growing area that deals with data from its origin to the knowledge exploration. It comprises of two main subdomains, data analytics for preparing data, and machine learning to probe into this data for hidden patterns. Machine learning (ML) endows powerful algorithms for the automatic pattern recognition and producing prediction models for the structured and unstructured data. The available historical data has patterns having high predictive value used for the future success of an industry. These algorithms also help to obtain accurate prediction, classification, and simulation models by eliminating insignificant and faulty patterns. Machine learning provides major advancement in the healthcare industry by assisting doctors to diagnose chronic diseases correctly. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas cells are damaged and do not secrete sufficient amount of insulin required by the human body. Machine learning algorithms can help in early diagnosis of this chronic disease by studying its predictor parameter values.
