Hello ben,
Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it.
The trade-off between FP and FN depends on the specific goal and constraints presented in the scenario (which I think is unclear right now). You’re right that if the goal is to maximize profits, reducing FN is more important, whereas if it’s more important to reduce costs associated with marketing to players who are not likely to buy, minimizing FP is more important.
We’ll tweak the scenario to provide more clarity and better understand the goals and constraints involved.
Let me know if this helps.
