Metrics

Discover more about the four most commonly used metrics: true and false positive rates, precision, recall and accuracy.

Most commonly used metrics

Starting with these four numbers, TN, FP, FN, and TP, you may construct a ton of metrics. We are focusing here on the most commonly used: true and false-positive rates (TPR and FPR), precision, recall, and accuracy.

True and false-positive rates

Let us start with the first two:

TPR=TPTP+FNTPR = \dfrac{TP}{TP + FN}   FPR=FPFP+TN\space \space FPR = \dfrac{FP}{FP + TN} ...
