Using snort statistics to measure False Positives

[Tasneem Singh via Snort-users <snort-users () lists snort org>]

Hi,

I was wondering if we can use the snort statistics to measure the false
positive rate? What I mean is, can we use the parameters allow, block, no.
of events, total packets etc. to calculate FPs? Would that be a correct
representation of the actual number?
I am working on a project that aims at generating rules automatically in
snort to reduce FPs.

Thank You.

Best,
Tasneem
