Table 2.

Confusion matrix.

Actually positive Actually negative
Predict positive Cost(+, +) Cost(+, −)
Predict negative Cost(−, +) Cost(−, −)

Cost values are set according to different classification results. Generally, for a rare positive and prevalent negative samples, Cost(+, −) > Cost(−, +). And Cost(+, +) = Cost(−, −) = 0 denotes no penalty for a correctly predicted sample.
