Table 2.

Common measures used in this paper to gauge the performance of classification tasks. In the formulae above, TP (True Positives) is the number of correctly classified concussed individuals; TN (True Negatives) is the number of correctly classified control participants; while FP and FN are the numbers of falsely classified control (i.e. False Positives) and concussed (i.e. False Negatives) participants, respectively.
