I got the result of 4*4 confusion matrix like above for Classification. While finding Sensitivity from the confusion matrix the result occured is NaN since i use the formula as True Negative /(True Negative+False Positive). How can I rectify this ? Can anyone please suggest how i can interpret the result?

Assuming your array is the output of the confusionmat() function http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/confusionmat.html, I believe the correct interpretation is as follows:
You have 3,609 events that are known to be category 1; you have correctly classified 3,415 of them and misclassified 194 of them as being in category 2.
You have no events that are known to be category 2 or 3.
You have 82,827 events that are known to be category 4; you have correctly classified 82,667 of them and misclassified 160 of them as being in category 3.
[I may have mixed up the "known" and "predicted" dimensions, but I don't think so.]
