Is it better to have too many false positives or too many false negatives? Explain...

Answer / Ankit Porwal

The choice between more false positives and more false negatives depends on the specific application and the costs associated with each type of error. If the cost of a false positive is higher, it's generally better to have fewer false positives, even if that means having more false negatives. Conversely, if the cost of a false negative is higher, it's preferable to have fewer false negatives, even with some increase in false positives.
