  2. Positive and negative predictive values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative...

    The PPV and NPV are not intrinsic to the test (as true positive rate and true negative rate are); they depend also on the prevalence. [2] Both PPV and NPV can be derived using Bayes' theorem . Although sometimes used synonymously, a positive predictive value generally refers to what is established by control groups, while a post-test ...

    The fundamental prevalence-independent statistics are sensitivity and specificity.. Sensitivity or True Positive Rate (TPR), also known as recall, is the proportion of people that tested positive and are positive (True Positive, TP) of all the people that actually are positive (Condition Positive, CP = TP + FN).

  5. What’s the Profitability Index (PI) and How Is It Calculated?

    NPV calculates the difference between the present value of cash inflows and outflows over the lifespan of a project. A positive NPV shows that the projected earnings exceed the anticipated costs ...

  6. Precision and recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall

    In a classification task, the precision for a class is the number of true positives (i.e. the number of items correctly labelled as belonging to the positive class) divided by the total number of elements labelled as belonging to the positive class (i.e. the sum of true positives and false positives, which are items incorrectly labelled as belonging to the class).

  7. Penalized present value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penalized_present_value

    PPV is best understood by comparison to two other approaches where a penalty is applied for risk: The risk-adjusted rate of return applies a risk-penalty by increasing the discount rate when calculating the Net Present Value (NPV); The certainty equivalent approach does this by adjusting the cash-flow numerators of the NPV formula.

  8. Binary classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_classification

    It is a type of supervised learning, a method of machine learning where the categories are predefined, and is used to categorize new probabilistic observations into said categories. When there are only two categories the problem is known as statistical binary classification. Some of the methods commonly used for binary classification are:

    On the other hand, this hypothetical test demonstrates very accurate detection of cancer-free individuals (NPV ≈ 99.5%). Therefore, when used for routine colorectal cancer screening with asymptomatic adults, a negative result supplies important data for the patient and doctor, such as ruling out cancer as the cause of gastrointestinal ...
