The confusion matrix for binary classification. Base pairs that are in the accepted structure and are predicted are true positives. Base pairs that are not in the accepted structure and also not in the prediction are true negatives. Base pairs that are in the accepted structure, but not predicted, are false negatives. Base pairs that are not in the accepted structure, but are predicted, are false positives. The true positives and true negatives are therefore correct predictions (labeled in green). The false negatives and false positives are incorrect predictions (labeled in red).
