# falseNegativeCount(of:)

Returns the number of times a true label was not predicted.

```
func falseNegativeCount(of label: Label) -> Int
```

## Parameters

`label`

The label to use as true positive.

## Return Value

The false negative count.

## Discussion

If the label does not have a confidence threshold, the false negative count is 0. If the label has a
confidence threshold NaN, the false negative count is the number of elements in the ground truth labels
collection that do not contain the label. If the label is not in the known set of labels, the false negative count is 0.
