Definition
A reliability diagram puts predicted probability on one axis and outcome frequency on the other, one point per confidence bin. A perfectly calibrated model lies on the diagonal: the cases it called 0.8 are right about 80% of the time. Deviations above and below the line show over- and under-confidence.
It summarizes calibration over groups of predictions, not single answers, and it is the picture behind the numeric scores like ECE and the Brier score. A diagram that looks good can still hide a bucket that is badly off, so read the bins, not only the line.
