Table 1. Term definitions used for the study.
Observed yield | |||
---|---|---|---|
Low (unbalanced) | High (balanced) | ||
Predicted yield | Low | True positive (TP): observed low-yielders correctly predicted as low-yielders. | False positive (FP): observed high-yielders incorrectly predicted as low-yielders. |
High | False negative (FN): observed low-yielders incorrectly predicted as high-yielders. | True negative (TN): observed high-yielders correctly predicted as high-yielders. |
As in medical sciences, the negative term is used in cases where no intervention is needed after diagnosis.
