Figure showing how to calculate recall and precision. A table with four quadrants where the first column corresponds to actual positive, second column corresponds to actual negative, first row corresponds to positive prediction, and second row corresponds to negative prediction. Within the quadrants, there is true positive, false positive, false negative, and true negative. recall equals tp / tp + fn. precision equals tp / tp + fp.
