- The actual value was negative and the model predicted a negative value
False Positive (FP) – Type 1 error
- The predicted value was falsely predicted
- The actual value was negative but the model predicted a positive value
- Also known as the Type 1 error
False Negative (FN) – Type 2 error
- The predicted value was falsely predicted
