Threshold tuning is an important and necessary step in the Data Science pipeline. It is strongly related to the application domain and requires common sense and critical thinking.

Threshold tuning allows you to customize a finished model and adapt it to different needs.

In this article, I will demonstrate how to improve the performance of a model by tuning a decision threshold. Let’s start.
