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.

Precision = TruePositive / (TruePositive + FalsePositive)
Recall = TruePositive / (TruePositive + FalseNegative)
