A false negative occurs when a test result incorrectly indicates the absence of a condition or attribute that is actually present. It is a type of error in binary classification tasks, where the outcome can be either positive (presence) or negative (absence). False negatives are problematic because they can lead to missed opportunities for intervention or action when a condition is undetected.
