Sentence examples for calculated validity from inspiring English sources

We calculated validity measures i.e. sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, positive and negative predictive values, and simple kappa statistics for each cancer screening type.

Some studies have attempted to 'solve' this problem by calculating the sensitivity and specificity based on general prevalence rates, e.g. Groen et al. [ 78] calculated validity indices for several screening instruments, using ASD prevalence numbers reported by Baird et al. [ 62].

Using administrative data as our gold standard, we calculated validity measures for self-report (i.e. sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, positive and negative predictive values), calculated report-to-record ratios, and conducted a multivariable regression analysis to determine which characteristics were independently associated with over-reporting of screening.

Corrects SegV produced by negative array index, now checks calculated index validity prior to use.

To help answer the questions, the maximum |dT/d fS 1/2| (T is temperature and fS fraction solid) was calculated, whose validity as the crack susceptibility index was verified recently.

From their responses, we calculated content validity index (CVI) scores (Waltz, Strickland, & Lenz, 1991), obtaining average values higher than 80% for all items, which provides support for the theoretical-conceptual adequacy of the items as measures of their respective target factors.

A Cohen's kappa and a prevalence-adjusted bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK) [ 34] were calculated on validity assessments to obtain an index of inter-rater reliability.

To verify the method's potential use as an early warning system for human risk, we calculated the validity of the model-estimated risk map versus the raw incidence map from August 13 for predicting the case distribution for October 1, 2003.

Other limitations of this study include the inclusion of mechanically ventilated patients only, the small size of the non-ARDS groups, the unclear pathophysiology of the atelectasis and pleural effusion group, and the absence of a calculated predictive validity of EVLW and PVPI regarding mortality.

However, only five of the papers included in the review provide sufficient detail to calculate validity scores.

Then, a different panel of 11 experts on health education was asked to comment independently on necessity and relevance of the items in order to calculate Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI), respectively.
