False Positive Rate (FPR) is a performance [[metric]] used to gauge how often [[classification]] models incorrectly classify negative instances as positives. Put differently, FPR measures the proportion of negative instances incorrectly classified as positive by the model. Calculated by dividing total false positives by total true negatives and false positives.
