File name | Sensitivity and Specificity |
File Description | Ideally, a test should have high sensitivity and high specificity. Sometimes there are trade offs in terms of sensitivity and specificity.For example, we can make a test have very high sensitivity, but this sometimes results in low specificity. Generally we are able to keep both sensitivity and specificity high in screening tests, but we still get false positives and false negatives.For example, we can make a test have very high sensitivity, but this sometimes results in low specificity.
