Precision or positive predictive value is a measure for exactness and recall or sensitivity is a measure of completeness. They range from 0 to 1 and the best possible value for both of them is 1.
- <math>\text{precision} = \frac{tp}{tp + fp}</math>
- <math>\text{recall} = \frac{tp}{tp + fn},</math>
- where <math>tp</math> is the number of true positives, <math>fp</math> the number of false positives, and <math>fn</math> the number of false negatives.
