To measure the effect of varying decision threshold, we compute the sensitivity and specificity of different decision thresholds.
Although the study reported a high reliability, the number of events was too low to adequately assess the sensitivity and specificity of the decision instrument.
Sensitivity and specificity of the decision instrument did not depend on event type, pathogen type, or WHO region of occurrence because no strong evidence of an association between concordance and these factors was found.
We carry out a simulation study to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the decision rules we propose, and we illustrate our approach in a case study of congenital anomalies in England.
The ROCs in the cross-validations all have area under curve (AUC) between 0.717 to 0.999 as compared with the randomly expected AUC of 0.5, indicative of high sensitivity and specificity of the decision trees in predicting the phenotypes (Fig. 1C).
Eliminating or obscuring awareness of being studied is necessary for this particular enterprise if it is judged worth doing in the first place, and we make no case for the wider extension of this practice, as previously emphasizing the contextual specificity of our decision making.
It is a central argument in the article that we have to understand the specificity of the decision situation, without reducing it either to other phases (before or after) of the total processes of PND and selective abortion, or to general discourses of disability or normality.
The specificity of mating decisions is exemplified by the Drosophila courtship ritual, in which males follow, sing to, and copulate with females but not males.
Limits related to the weight of the characteristics of the context are on the other hand inherent in the specificity of policy decisions and the method aims at setting common criteria for selecting relevant issues of the context.
