Table 6. Performance metrics.

Metric Definition Equation
Accuracy The ratio of correctly predicted observation to the total observations (True Positives (TP) + True Negatives (TN))/(Positives+ Negatives)
Recall (sensitivity) The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the all observations in actual class TP/(TP + False Negatives (FN))
Precision The ratio of correctly predicted positive observations to the total predicted positive observations TP/(TP+ False Positive (FP))
f-measure The weighted average of Precision and Recall 2 × (Recall × Precision)/(Recall + Precision)
False Positive Rate (FPR) The proportion of samples that test positive which are genuinely negative FP/(FP+TN)
False Negative Rate (FNR) The proportion of samples that test negative which are genuinely positive FP/(FP+TN)
