In this case, Precision = 50%, Recall = 83%, Specificity = 95%: and Accuracy = 95%. In this case, Precision is low, which means the classifier is predicting positives poorly. However, the three other measures seem to suggest that this is a good classifier. This just goes to show that the problem domain has a major impact on the measures that should be used to evaluate a classifier within it, and that looking at the 4 simple cases presented is not sufficient.
