In pattern recognition, information retrieval and classification machine learning, precision also called positive predictive value is the fraction of relevant instances among the retrieved instances, while recall also known as sensitivity is the fraction of the total amount of relevant instances that were actually retrieved. It can achieve 40% recall without sacrificing any precision, but to get 100% recall, its precision drops to 50%. A precision recall curve or pr curve is a plot of the precision yaxis and the recall xaxis for different probability thresholds. Once precision and recall have been calculated for a binary or multiclass classification problem, the two scores can be combined into the calculation of the fmeasure.
