Editing Accuracy and precision (section)

==In cognitive systems==
In cognitive systems, accuracy and precision is used to characterize and measure results of a cognitive process performed by biological or artificial entities where a cognitive process is a transformation of data, information, knowledge, or wisdom to a higher-valued form. ([[DIKW Pyramid]]) Sometimes, a cognitive process produces exactly the intended or desired output but sometimes produces output far from the intended or desired. Furthermore, repetitions of a cognitive process do not always produce the same output. ''Cognitive accuracy'' (C<sub>A</sub>) is the propensity of a cognitive process to produce the intended or desired output. ''Cognitive precision'' (C<sub>P</sub>) is the propensity of a cognitive process to produce the same output.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Fulbright |first1=Ron |title=Democratization of Expertise: How Cognitive Systems Will Revolutionize Your Life |date=2020 |publisher=CRC Press |location=Boca Raton, FL |isbn=978-0367859459 |edition=1st}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Fulbright |first1=Ron |title=Augmented Cognition |chapter=Calculating Cognitive Augmentation – A Case Study |series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science |date=2019 |volume=11580 |pages=533–545 |chapter-url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-22419-6_38 |publisher=Springer Cham|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-22419-6_38 |arxiv=2211.06479 |isbn=978-3-030-22418-9 |s2cid=195891648 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Fulbright |first1=Ron |title=Human Interface and the Management of Information.
