## Rand Index

The Rand Index is the ratio of pairs of objects correctly clustered out of all possible pairs. This measure estimates the likelihood of an element being correctly classified. This measure is based on the pairwise approach to calculate TP,TN,FP and FN. $R = \frac{TP+TN}{TP+FP+FN+TN}$ In the binary classification background we have two classes that we want to distinguish: positive and negative. In this scenario there are four possible outcomes:
• TP (True Positive): The object belongs to class positive and we classified it as positive,
• FP (False Positive ): The object belongs to class negative and we classified it as positive,
• TN (True Negative): The object belongs to class negative and we classified it as negative,
• FN (False Negative): The object belongs to class positive but we classified it as negative
