1
Q
How do you calculate Positive Predictive Value?
A
true positives / total amount of positives (could be false positive)
2
Q
How do you calculate Negative Predictive Value?
A
true negatives / total amount of negatives (could be false negative)
3
Q
How do you calculate sensitivity?
A
True positives/ (True Positives+False Negatives) x 100 (percentage)
4
Q
How do you calculate specificity?
A
True negatives/ (True negatives + False positives) x 100 (percentage)
