False negative

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004332

A result from a test or classification model that incorrectly indicates the absence of a condition or attribute when it is actually present. This outcome represents an error where a true positive case is misidentified as a negative one. In medical diagnostics, a false negative can have serious consequences.
