Table 2 Performance measures for multi-class classifiers. t p i , t n i , f p i and f n i are, in turn, tp, tn, fp and fn for class i [59]. The multi-class MCC is calculated taking into account all the entries of the confusion matrix C K×K involving all K classes [60]. The ij-th entry (c ij ) is the number of examples of the true class i that have been assigned to the class j by the classifier
