Compute the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC)

The Matthews correlation coefficient is used in machine learning as a
measure of the quality of binary and multiclass classifications. It takes
into account true and false positives and negatives and is generally
regarded as a balanced measure which can be used even if the classes are of
very different sizes. The MCC is in essence a correlation coefficient value
between -1 and +1. A coefficient of +1 represents a perfect prediction, 0
an average random prediction and -1 an inverse prediction. The statistic
is also known as the phi coefficient. [source: Wikipedia]
