Studies based on both Hybrid Capture 2 and p16INK4a testing showed that they had similar sensitivity, but p16INK4a has a statistical significant higher specificity in the triage of women with ASCUS (relative sensitivity, 0.95 (95% CI, 0.89 1.01); relative specificity, 1.82 (95% CI, 1.57 2.12)).
To estimate the overall performance of the kNN model, statistical measures (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity) were averaged.
To estimate the overall performance of the MLPNN model, statistical measures (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity) were averaged.
(e) To estimate the overall performance of MLPNN and kNN classifiers, statistical measures (accuracy, specificity, sensitivity) were averaged.
Each row shows, for a particular TFD, the total number of newborn EEG segments correctly classified as well as those misclassified as another class, and also, the three statistical parameters: sensitivity, specificity and total classification accuracy.
The performance of retained CDAs was summarized with standard statistical descriptors (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and an estimate of the area under the Receiver-Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve [48]).
However, statistical properties like specificity and reproducibility could be evaluated in a comparable way for many of the algorithms.
As in many other studies, we had to strike a balance between statistical power and specificity of the outcome.
Using genetic markers for orienting the edges of trait networks generated in genetic experiments provides significant statistical power and specificity for recovering directed edges [ 14- 22].
We used these genes to test the statistical sensitivity and specificity of the method here proposed (ESLiM) implemented in 3 slightly different versions (ESLiMa, ESLiMc, ESLiMt) described above.
