Accuracy is calculated as the total number of two correct predictions (TP + TN) divided by the total
number of a dataset (P + N).

Sensitivity (Recall or True positive rate)
Sensitivity (SN) is calculated as the number of correct positive predictions divided by the total
number of positives. It is also called recall (REC) or true positive rate (TPR). The best sensitivity is
1.0, whereas the worst is 0.0.
Sensitivity is calculated as the number of correct positive predictions (TP) divided by the total number
of positives (P).
Specificity (True negative rate)
Specificity (SP) is calculated as the number of correct negative predictions divided by the total
number of negatives. It is also called true negative rate (TNR). The best specificity is 1.0, whereas
the worst is 0.0.
Specificity is calculated as the number of correct negative predictions (TN) divided by the total number
of negatives (N).
Precision (Positive predictive value)
Precision (PREC) is calculated as the number of correct positive predictions divided by the total
number of positive predictions. It is also called positive predictive value (PPV). The best precision is
1.0, whereas the worst is 0.0.
Precision is calculated as the number of correct positive predictions (TP) divided by the total number
of positive predictions (TP + FP).

False positive rate
False positive rate (FPR) is calculated as the number of incorrect positive predictions divided by the
total number of negatives. The best false positive rate is 0.0 whereas the worst is 1.0. It can also be
calculated as 1

False positive rate is calculated as the number of incorrect positive predictions (FP) divided by the
