Table 3 Metrics used to measure the performance of models detecting somatic variants

From: Improving somatic exome sequencing performance by biological replicates

Metric

Descriptions

TP

The number of correctly predicted somatic variants

FP

The number of predicted somatic variants that are not actually somatic variants

FN

The number of actual somatic variants that were incorrectly classified as non-somatic (missed) by the model

Precision

\(\frac{TP}{{TP + FP}}\)

Recall

\(\frac{TP}{{TP + FN}}\)

F1

\(\frac{2 \times Precision \times Recall}{{Precision + Recall}}\)
