Talk:Confusion matrix/Operation Transposition

@Danilosilva128: noted on Talk:Confusion_matrix#Confusion_Matrix_is_Transposed_compared_to_standard_practice that confusion matrices in statistics books more commonly have actual (ground truth) values as rows and predicted values as columns, as opposed to the current convention on Wikipedia, and proposes changing Wikipedia articles accordingly.

To avoid inconsistency during the process, @Cmglee: suggests identifying all articles needing changes, so that most (if not all) can be done in a short time, such as during an edit-a-thon.

Please append an asterisk to each entry below if it contains an image requiring modification:

• Confusion matrix
• Template:DiagnosticTesting_Diagram
• Template:SensSpecPPVNPV
• Binary_classification#Evaluation_of_binary_classifiers
• Evaluation_of_binary_classifiers#Contingency_table
• Matthews_correlation_coefficient#Example
• Receiver_operating_characteristic#ROC_space
• Diagnostic_odds_ratio#Example
• Total_operating_characteristic#Basic_concept

The following articles need not be changed, as they already use the proposed convention (inconsistently with the ones above):

• Classification_rule#Confusion_Matrix_and_Classifiers
• Whistled_language#Techniques
• Fairness_(machine_learning)#Metrics

Many related articles need not be changed since they either use a template listed above or do not give a specific example of a confusion matrix.
