Sean Owen commented on SPARK-14900:
-----------------------------------

To me, we should also deprecate MulticlassMetrics.precision, since I don't 
think there's such a thing as "precision" that isn't specific to a class in the 
multi-class setting. What it implements already is really accuracy.

Accuracy is different from precision so adding it to the 
BinaryClassificationMetrics class entails a little more, implementing a new 
metric, but, that would also make some sense to me.

> spark.ml classification metrics should include accuracy

> To compute "accuracy" (0/1 classification accuracy), users can use 
> {{precision}} in MulticlassMetrics and 
> MulticlassClassificationEvaluator.metricName.  We should also support 
> "accuracy" directly as an alias to help users familiar with that name.
