Precision is a metric of performance for classification algorithms that for binary classification is equal to $ tp / (tp + fp) $ , where $ tp $ and $ fp $ are the numbers of true positives and false positives respectively.

For multiclass classification the precision metric can be used with the following strategies for averaging.

Micro. If there are classes in total, the result is equal to
$(tp_0 + tp_1 + \ldots + tp_N) / (tp_0 + tp_1 + \ldots + tp_N + fp_0 + fp_1 + \ldots + fp_N),$
where and are the numbers of true positives and false positives respectively for the class (label) .
Macro. If there are classes in total, the result is equal to the mean of the values
$tp_0 / (tp_0 + fp_0), tp_1 / (tp_1 + fp_1), \ldots, tp_N / (tp_N + fp_N),$
where and are the numbers of true positives and false positives respectively for the class (label) .
