All Implemented Interfaces:

ClassificationMeasure

public class Sensitivity
extends java.lang.Object
implements ClassificationMeasure

Sensitivity or true positive rate (TPR) (also called hit rate, recall) is a statistical measures of the performance of a binary classification test. Sensitivity is the proportion of actual positives which are correctly identified as such.

TPR = TP / P = TP / (TP + FN)

Sensitivity and specificity are closely related to the concepts of type I and type II errors. For any test, there is usually a trade-off between the measures. This trade-off can be represented graphically using an ROC curve.

In this implementation, the class label 1 is regarded as positive and 0 is regarded as negative.
