Calculate sensitivity from true positive and false negative counts.

Description

Calculate sensitivity from true positive and false negative counts.

Recall Calculator: Calculate sensitivity from true positive and false negative counts.

When to use Recall

Use this metric to summarize one aspect of a classifier's confusion matrix after defining the positive class and counting outcomes on an appropriate evaluation set.

True positives
Required integer input.
False negatives
Required integer input.

How Recall works

Calculate sensitivity from true positive and false negative counts. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Recall
The resulting recall returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • A single classification metric can conceal class imbalance, threshold tradeoffs, subgroup errors, calibration, and uncertainty. Results are only comparable when the positive class, averaging rule, dataset, and decision threshold match.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Inspect the complete confusion matrix and report complementary precision, recall, specificity, balanced accuracy, F-score, calibration, and threshold curves as appropriate to the decision cost.
