Definitions of Precision and Recall seem incorrect. Or at least confusing/inconsistent terminology in usage of terms "Predicted" and "True".

The definition given for Precision is: True Positives / Total Positives
Should be: True Positives / Predicted Positives
Equivalently: True Positives / (True Positives + False Positives)

The definition given for Recall is: Predicted Positives / Total Positives
Should be: True Positives / Total Positives
Equivalently: True Positives / (True Positives + False Negatives)
