#### Label based metrics
Opposed to binary classification where there are only two possible labels, multiclass classification problems have many
-possible labels and so the concept of label-based metrics is introduced. Overall precision measures precision across all
+possible labels and so the concept of label-based metrics is introduced. Accuracy measures precision across all
labels - the number of times any class was predicted correctly (true positives) normalized by the number of data
points. Precision by label considers only one class, and measures the number of time a specific label was predicted
correctly normalized by the number of times that label appears in the output.
