File Description | Since many of the tests in common use are imperfect, mis classifying both diseased and non-diseased subjects, scientists are often interested in estimating the sensitivity and specificity of a screening test.The sensitivity is the probability a diseased subject is correctly classified whereas specificity is the probability a non-diseased subject is correctly classified. Even if the raw test results are continuous or ordinal, they are typically reduced to binary classification with scores above a certain cutoff value classified as diseased and those below as non-diseased. |
