True positive
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012330
An outcome in a binary classification test where the model correctly predicts the positive class. This indicates that the condition or property being tested for is genuinely present, and the test accurately reflects this presence. In drug discovery, it represents a compound correctly identified as active.
