Figure 3. The precision and recall of target and pathway deconvolution.

Figure 3

Precision is the fraction of the identified targets or pathways that are correct, calculated as “true positive”/(“true positive” + “false positive”). Recall is the fraction of all true targets or pathways that are successfully identified, calculated as “true positive”/(“true positive” + “false negative”).
