Contingency Matrix for Patient Outcome Prediction

	System Diagnosis
		+	-
Gold Standard Diagnosis	+	TP (true positive) Patients that live with treatment after 8 month period as expected	FN (false negative) Patients that will live after 8 months with treatment but are expected to die
	-	FP (false positive) Patients that die before 8 months with treatment but are expected to live	TN (true negative) Patients that die with treatment before 8 month period as expected

Contingency Matrix identifying statistical decision density function processing definitions and the resultant clinical errors possible. The Gold Standard is the correct outcome and the System Diagnosis is the prediction of outcome made
