Consider adding "Positive Predictive Value" as alternate name for Precision, Success Ratio #681

  1. I think "Positive Predictive Value" is another term for Precision and Success Ratio. Should this be added to included.md and/or should a new function by this name call the success_ratio function?

  2. There also appears to be a "Negative Predictive Value" (=true negatives/(true negatives+false negatives)). I had a quick look, and I didn't notice us already having a binary categorical metric that matches this. But if I just overlooked it, and we do indeed have a matching metric, then it might also be worth adding Negative Predictive Value to included.md
