Is there a term for FP/(TP+FP) or (1 - 'Positive Predictive Value')



"Positive Predictive Value" (PPV) is defined as TP/(TP+FP). What is
the statistical term for FP/(TP+FP) [or 1 - PPV] ?? If you have a
source on the web, I'd love to have the link, too.

We use 1-PPV a lot in our work and I'd love to have a shorter way of
saying this. In biology, it is common to call this a false positive
rate, but I know this does not match up with the classical definition
of false positive rate [ which is FP/(FP+TN) ].
