• Sensitivity, Specificity, Predictive for a Positive Test

  So positive predictive value=88/108=0.8148 Negative predictive value=9780/9892=0.9887 The solution gives detailed steps on calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value for a given postive test under various conditions.

• Sensitivity, specificity and predictive value

  (Points: 2) The positive predictive value of the screening test for diabetes is a. 0.3% b. 22.6% c. 63.0% d. 77.4% e. 99.7% Answer c. 63.0% Predictive Value of a Positive Test = True Positive/(True Positive + False Positive)

• Attack ratio and Positive predictive value

  Prevalence will have a greater effect on positive predictive values. The prevalence of a test is much lower so the predictive value of a positive test will also be lower.

• Sensitivity and specificity calculations

  Problem with setting up all the above data sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive values in one table and show formulas for sensitivity, specificity & positive.

  Also, refer to the tables (2,3,4) for calculating sensitivity, specificity, positive/negative predictive values. I find the best part of Chi square is the generation of a p value.

• Interpreting integrity tests data on a regression analysis equation

  All the t-statistics are large values well away from zero, this means that the hypothesized numbers in case of positive t statistics are not large enough and in case of negative statistics the hypothesized number are too large.
