TP (true positive) stands for the number of true GPCRs that are predicted correctly, TN (true negative) stands for the number of true non-GPCRs that are predicted correctly, FP (false positive) is the number of true non-GPCRs that are incorrectly predicted to be GPCRs, and FN (false negative) is the number of true GPCRs that are incorrectly predicted to be non-GPCRs.
