Compute the micro-precision, micro-recall and micro-specificity vectors which have elements for each class i in {0, 1, ... k-1}. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Precision is the fraction classified as true that are actually true. Recall (sensitivity) is the fraction of the actually true that are classified as true. Specificity is the fraction of the actually false that are classified as false. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note, for 'k = 2', ordinary precision 'p', recall 'r' and specificity 's' will correspond to the last elements in the 'pv', 'rv' and 'sv' micro vectors.
