  "term": "Misclassification rate",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The proportion of samples that are incorrectly assigned to a category or class by a classification model. This metric quantifies the error of a supervised classification algorithm when applied to a set of evaluation data. A lower misclassification rate indicates better performance of the classification model.",
