Beyond #Accuracy: #Precision and #Recall
Precision is defined as the number of true positives divided by the number of true positives plus the number of false positives. False positives are cases the model incorrectly labels as positive that are actually negative, or in our example, individuals the model classifies as terrorists that are not. While recall expresses the ability to find all relevant instances in a dataset, precision expresses the proportion of the data points our model says was relevant actually were relevant.
