Frequency of hits or true positives (TP).

hi is the frequency of hits or true positives (TP) in a population of N individuals.

hi

Format

An object of class numeric of length 1.

Details

Definition: hi is the frequency of individuals for which Condition = TRUE and Decision = TRUE (positive).

hi is a measure of correct classifications, not an individual case.

Relationships:

1. to probabilities: The frequency hi depends on the sensitivity sens (aka. hit rate or true positive rate, TPR) and is conditional on the prevalence prev.

2. to other frequencies: In a population of size N the following relationships hold:

   • N = cond_true + cond_false (by condition)

   • N = dec_pos + dec_neg (by decision)

   • N = dec_cor + dec_err (by correspondence of decision to condition)

   • N = hi + mi + fa + cr (by condition x decision)
