In use cases like cancer detection, fraud detection, accuracy cannot be a good performance metrics to evaluate a model’s performance. Even though we have achieved 95% accuracy, it may happen that the data can be imbalanced.
Hence, precision, recall and F1 score can be used as performance metrics in such cases.
