It's always good to refresh these very foundational concepts in probabilities and predictions under uncertainty. Once you understand the principles behind it, you can twist it for innovation. For example, in predicting product affinity / conversion, you can choose to optimise for false positives as these can be your universe expansion opportunities – they are false positives on-you but may not be universally false positives.
