Contingency Table
True Positive: a; tested positive with test; have the condition
False Positive: b; tested positive; don’t have the condition
False Negative: c; tested negative; have the condition
True Negative: d; tested negative; don’t have condition
Sensitivity
-snout: rule out
-true positive test
-shows all the positive so it rules out the negatives
-a/(a+c)
Specificity
-spin: rule in
-true negative
-shows all the negative so it rules in the positives
-d/(b+d)
Predictive Value (+)
-likelyhood that the positive test = having condition
-a/(a+b)
Predictive Value (-)
-likelyhood that the negative test= not having condition
-d/(c+d)
Positive Likelihood Ratio
-increased odds of having condition if testing positive
-ratio of true to false
-Sensitivity/ (1- Specificity)
-higher= more likely
Negative Likelihood Ratio
-decreased odds of having condition if testing negative

-(1- Sensitivity)/ Specificity
-lower= less likely
Guide to Interpreting LR
-most powerful tool for quantifying importance of a particular test
> 10/<0.10: large probability
5-10/0.5-1: moderate
2-5/0.2-0.5: small
1-2/0.5-1: rare
