-    Attributes
-    ----------
-    confusion_matrix : dict
-        A nested dictionary where the first key is the ground truth label value, the second key
-        is the prediction label value, and the innermost dictionary contains either a `count`
-        or a list of `examples`. Each example includes the datum UID, ground truth bounding box,
-        predicted bounding box, and prediction scores.
-    hallucinations : dict
-        A dictionary where each key is a prediction label value with no corresponding ground truth
-        (false positives). The value is a dictionary containing either a `count` or a list of
-        `examples`. Each example includes the datum UID, predicted bounding box, and prediction score.
-    missing_predictions : dict
-        A dictionary where each key is a ground truth label value for which the model failed to predict
-        (false negatives). The value is a dictionary containing either a `count` or a list of `examples`.
-        Each example includes the datum UID and ground truth bounding box.
-    score_threshold : float
-        The confidence score threshold used to filter predictions.
-    iou_threshold : float
-        The Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold used to determine true positives.
-    number_of_examples : int
-        The maximum number of examples per element.
