Confusion Matrix Components.

Confusion Matrix Definition Formula
Accuracy It is the ratio of correctly classified to the whole set.
For instance, which answers the question: How many patients did we correctly diagnosed as depressed out of all the patients?
TN + TP/All
Precision It is the ratio of correctly classified positive subjects to all the positive subjects. For instance, which answers the question: How many of the patients whom we named as depressed are actually depressed? TP/TP + FP
Sensitivity (Recall) It is the ratio of correctly classified positive subjects to all those who have the disease in reality.
Which answers the question: Of all the depressed people in the dataset, how many did we correctly predict as depressed?
TP/TP + FN
Specificity It is the ratio of correctly classified negative subjects to all the healthy subjects in reality.
Which answers the question: Of all the healthy people in the dataset, how many we correctly predict as not depressed?
TN/TN + FP
FMeasure It is a combination of both recall and precision. Harmonic average. 2 × (Precision × Recall)/(Recall + Precision)
