A confusion matrix looks like:

enter image description here

Is there an easy way to do the same using LaTeX?

Otherwise I could just create a diagram with any software.

    Perhaps you can adapt the example for sfgame.sty for you purposes. Also you may want to delete your duplicate post at Stack Overflow since this question is more on topic here. – N.N. Jun 8 '11 at 16:52
  • it sounds too time-consuming. thanks for your comments. I'm going to create one using OmniGraffle. Cheers. – kkudi Jun 8 '11 at 17:18
  • You may also wanna have a look at this LaTeX community post. – N.N. Jun 8 '11 at 17:25

Here's a solution without TikZ:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{multirow}

\newcommand\MyBox[2]{
  \fbox{\lower0.75cm
    \vbox to 1.7cm{\vfil
      \hbox to 1.7cm{\hfil\parbox{1.4cm}{#1\\#2}\hfil}
      \vfil}%
  }%
}

\begin{document}

\noindent
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.5}
\setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
\begin{tabular}{c >{\bfseries}r @{\hspace{0.7em}}c @{\hspace{0.4em}}c @{\hspace{0.7em}}l}
  \multirow{10}{*}{\parbox{1.1cm}{\bfseries\raggedleft actual\\ value}} & 
    & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\bfseries Prediction outcome} & \\
  & & \bfseries p & \bfseries n & \bfseries total \\
  & p$'$ & \MyBox{True}{Positive} & \MyBox{False}{Negative} & P$'$ \\[2.4em]
  & n$'$ & \MyBox{False}{Positive} & \MyBox{True}{Negative} & N$'$ \\
  & total & P & N &
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

In a comment it has been requested to rotate one of the labels; this can be easily done using \rotatebox from graphicx:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}

\newcommand\MyBox[2]{
  \fbox{\lower0.75cm
    \vbox to 1.7cm{\vfil
      \hbox to 1.7cm{\hfil\parbox{1.4cm}{#1\\#2}\hfil}
      \vfil}%
  }%
}

\begin{document}

\noindent
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.5}
\setlength\tabcolsep{0pt}
\begin{tabular}{c >{\bfseries}r @{\hspace{0.7em}}c @{\hspace{0.4em}}c @{\hspace{0.7em}}l}
  \multirow{10}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{\parbox{1.1cm}{\bfseries\centering actual\\ value}}} & 
    & \multicolumn{2}{c}{\bfseries Prediction outcome} & \\
  & & \bfseries p & \bfseries n & \bfseries total \\
  & p$'$ & \MyBox{True}{Positive} & \MyBox{False}{Negative} & P$'$ \\[2.4em]
  & n$'$ & \MyBox{False}{Positive} & \MyBox{True}{Negative} & N$'$ \\
  & total & P & N &
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

    very good. It looks like that a lot users think that TikZ is needed for every problem ... By the way, you can use \parbox[c][1.7cm][c]{1.7cm}{...} – user2478 Jun 9 '11 at 6:51
  • @Herbert: Indeed. – TH. Jun 9 '11 at 12:29
  • @Herbert: thanks. And yes, you're absolutely right. – Gonzalo Medina Jun 9 '11 at 13:33
  • How can we rotate actual value by 90 degrees? – Rasoul Sep 14 '13 at 19:47

Here is some LaTeX code I used to produce related tables for a tutorial. It might get you close to what you're looking for, although you'll probably want to change the layout.

\begin{tabular}{l|l|c|c|c}
\multicolumn{2}{c}{}&\multicolumn{2}{c}{True diagnosis}&\\
\cline{3-4}
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{}&Positive&Negative&\multicolumn{1}{c}{Total}\\
\cline{2-4}
\multirow{2}{*}{Screening test}& Positive & $a$ & $b$ & $a+b$\\
\cline{2-4}
& Negative & $c$ & $d$ & $c+d$\\
\cline{2-4}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Total} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$a+c$} & \multicolumn{    1}{c}{$b+d$} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$N$}\\
\end{tabular}

enter image description here

\begin{tabular}{l|l|>{\columncolor{gray!20}}l|l|l}

    Which packages will I need to construct this table? – Demetri Pananos Jul 27 '16 at 20:43

    it would be nice if the packages required were included with this answer – baxx Feb 7 '19 at 13:34
  • two things: 1) there are multiple spaces within a '\multirow' command causing compilation errors 2) you need the following packages additionally hhline and multirow and colortbl – Julian Mar 30 at 15:22

It's quite easy making such a thing with TikZ, once you get the hang of it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
box/.style={draw,rectangle,minimum size=2cm,text width=1.5cm,align=left}]
\matrix (conmat) [row sep=.1cm,column sep=.1cm] {
\node (tpos) [box,
    label=left:\( \mathbf{p'} \),
    label=above:\( \mathbf{p} \),
    ] {True \\ positive};
&
\node (fneg) [box,
    label=above:\textbf{n},
    label=above right:\textbf{total},
    label=right:\( \mathrm{P}' \)] {False \\ negative};
\\
\node (fpos) [box,
    label=left:\( \mathbf{n'} \),
    label=below left:\textbf{total},
    label=below:P] {False \\ positive};
&
\node (tneg) [box,
    label=right:\( \mathrm{N}' \),
    label=below:N] {True \\ negative};
\\
};
\node [left=.05cm of conmat,text width=1.5cm,align=right] {\textbf{actual \\ value}};
\node [above=.05cm of conmat] {\textbf{prediction outcome}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

To rotate actual value you can replace 

\node [left=.05cm of conmat,text width=1.5cm,align=right] {\textbf{actual \\ value}};

with

 \node [rotate=90,left=.05cm of conmat,anchor=center,text width=1.5cm,align=center] {\textbf{actual \\ value}};

result

  • Adopting your code to another example, I can't help but notice that the baseline of the "p" above "True positive" is higher than "n"'s. Doesn't hurt much here, but looks weird when you have longer labels such as "low", "medium", and "high". Any ideas on this? (Thanks, btw.) – sr_ Jun 24 '15 at 11:36

    @sr_ Good point. You can add every label/.style={text depth=\depthof{p}} to the tikzpicture options. – Torbjørn T. Jun 24 '15 at 11:40

To create a color confusion matrix like this:

Confusion matrix

You can use the following code. 

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{collcell}
\usepackage{hhline}
\usepackage{pgf}
\usepackage{multirow}

\def\colorModel{hsb} %You can use rgb or hsb

\newcommand\ColCell[1]{
  \pgfmathparse{#1<50?1:0}  %Threshold for changing the font color into the cells
    \ifnum\pgfmathresult=0\relax\color{white}\fi
  \pgfmathsetmacro\compA{0}      %Component R or H
  \pgfmathsetmacro\compB{#1/100} %Component G or S
  \pgfmathsetmacro\compC{1}      %Component B or B
  \edef\x{\noexpand\centering\noexpand\cellcolor[\colorModel]{\compA,\compB,\compC}}\x #1
  } 
\newcolumntype{E}{>{\collectcell\ColCell}m{0.4cm}<{\endcollectcell}}  %Cell width
\newcommand*\rot{\rotatebox{90}}

\begin{document}
\newcommand\items{3}   %Number of classes
\arrayrulecolor{white} %Table line colors
\noindent\begin{tabular}{cc*{\items}{|E}|}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{} &\multicolumn{1}{c}{} &\multicolumn{\items}{c}{Predicted} \\ \hhline{~*\items{|-}|}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{\rot{Class A}} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{\rot{Class B}} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c}{\rot{Class C}} \\ \hhline{~*\items{|-}|}
\multirow{\items}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{Actual}} 
&Class A  & 100   & 0  & 10   \\ \hhline{~*\items{|-}|}
&Class B  & 10   & 80  & 10   \\ \hhline{~*\items{|-}|}
&Class C  & 30   & 0   & 70   \\ \hhline{~*\items{|-}|}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

You can control the color ranges using the HSB or RGB models and the formulas in compA, compB and compC.

So, for "Autum" (red-yellow) range use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{#1/600} %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{1} %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{1} %Component B or B

For "Cool" (cyan-magenta) range set rgb for color model and use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{#1/100}   %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{1-#1/100} %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{1}        %Component B or B

For "Black-red" range use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{0} %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{1} %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{#1/100} %Component B or B

For "Jet" range use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{0.6666-#1/150} %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{1}             %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{1}             %Component B or B

For "Cooper" range use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{0.08+#1/5000} %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{0.7}          %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{#1/100}       %Component B or B

For "Gray" range use:

\pgfmathsetmacro\compA{0}      %Component R or H
\pgfmathsetmacro\compB{0} %Component G or S
\pgfmathsetmacro\compC{#1/100}      %Component B or B

The line:

\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Total} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$a+c$} & \multicolumn{\
1}{c}{$b+d$} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$N$}\\

needs to be corrected to

\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Total} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$a+c$} & \multicolumn{ 
1}{c}{$b+d$} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$N$}\\

in order to compile...

  • Hi Christian welcome to the site. Often we don't follow-up with such commentary, to keep things self-contained. Which line in which answer are you writing about ? Also you can click edit under an answer and suggest an edit after a few users review it it would be added to the answer if it is sound. – percusse May 31 '15 at 15:13
