(As a mathematician, these are clearly not disjoint. The usecases and API are, though.) I agree we should do as little API changes as possible, but probably move evaluation code to a more sensible point. That probably does not include the actual metric functions, though, I'd think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Scikit-learn-general mailing list Scikit-learn-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scikit-learn-general
