Words worth knowing

Start with the plain-language meaning, then reach for the technical definition when you need precision.

Showing 1 term

Also: sensitivity, true-positive rate

Link to term
In plain language

The fraction of actual positive cases that a detector finds.

Technical definition

Recall = TP/(TP+FN) and must be reported with class definition, threshold, and test distribution.

Units
dimensionless or percent
Formula
recall = TP/(TP+FN)

Example Finding 90 of 100 actual obstacles gives 90% recall.

Common misconception High recall can coexist with many false alarms and therefore low precision.
