# Metric Card for FBeta_Score

## Metric Description
*Compute the F-beta score.
The F-beta score is the weighted harmonic mean of precision and recall, reaching its optimal value at 1 and its worst value at 0.
The beta parameter determines the weight of recall in the combined score. beta < 1 lends more weight to precision, while beta > 1 favors recall (beta -> 0 considers only precision, beta -> +inf only recall).*

Note: The default value of Beta is set as 1.5 to calculate the frequently used FBeta 1.5. Please set a different Beta value according to your needs.

## How to Use
``` python
import evaluate

fbeta_score = evaluate.load("leslyarun/fbeta_score")
results = fbeta_score.compute(references=[0, 1], predictions=[0, 1], beta=1.5)
print(results)
{'f_beta_score': 1.0}   
```
