In machine learning, Platt scaling or Platt calibration is a way of transforming the outputs of a classification model into a probability distribution over classes. The method was invented by John Platt in the context of support vector machines,[1] replacing an earlier method by Vapnik, but can be applied to other classification models.[2] Platt scaling works by fitting a logistic regression model to a classifier's scores.
