Thanks for your quickly answer. I feel embarrassed but I didn't understand 
it.

1 - diag(table) / sum(table)        Which diagonal? Both of them?

Could you explain it to me with a practical example?

CONFUSION MATRIX

                            Observed Class

Predicted Class             A          P

              A                   138       9

              P                     1         2


 PROBABILITY CONFUSION MATRIX

                                Observed Class

 Predicted Class                 A           P

              A       0.920000000  0.060000000

              P       0.006666667   0.013333333


Many, many thanks!
