False Positive definition

False Positive is defined as the ratio of legitimate business email incorrectly identified as spam by the filtering system to all email processed by the service in a calendar month.

False Positive means that all files are added to the Bloom filter, next file f is removed (we implemented counting Bloom filters for testing purposes) and finally f is compared against the filter. If combined with -t, the filter excludes all files of -t type and compares them against it. In both cases matches are printed to stdio.

Examples of False Positive in a sentence

  • See (i) Appendix 1 – Service Level Commitment for Virus Detection and Blocking, Spam Effectiveness, or False Positive and (ii) Appendix 2 – Service Level Commitment for Uptime and Email Delivery.

  • The negative percent agreement (NPA) was calculated as 100% x (True Negative / [True Negative + False Positive]).

  • As the true pos- itive rate (TPR) and false positive rate (FPR) depend on the number of True Positive and False Positive which are used to compute S and R, there is a direct match between each point of the ROC curve and the R vs S curve.

  • For each point on the ROC curve, the corresponding number of individuals to be re- cruited (R) and the number PET scans (S) is computed (Fig 2, middle) as such :TP + FP NS = 100 ∗ TP (1) R = 100 ∗ TP (2)where TP stands for number of True Positive, FP for number of False Positive and N is the total number of predictions that have been made.

  • As R depends on the number of False Negative and S on the number of False Positive, both of these measures are taken into account when the cost is minimized.In this study, we extend and evaluate more in depth the approach we proposed in 2017[3].
