Table 2.

Performance measurements for binary classification computed from a confusion matrix.

Positive Negative Evaluation Focus
Predicted as positive TP FP /
Predicted as negative FN TN /
Acc TP+TNTP+FP+FN+TN The overall efficiency of a classifier
Se (Recall) TPTP+FN The efficiency of a classifier to categorize positively labeled data
Sp TNTN+FP The efficiency of a classifier to categorize negatively labeled data
Precision TPTP+FP The data with positive labels correctly classified by the classifier

Note: Positive = normal, negative = pathological; TP = true positive, FP = false positive, FN = false negative, TN = true negative.
