  2. Positive and negative predictive values - Wikipedia

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

    The positive predictive value (PPV), or precision, is defined as = + = where a "true positive" is the event that the test makes a positive prediction, and the subject has a positive result under the gold standard, and a "false positive" is the event that the test makes a positive prediction, and the subject has a negative result under the gold standard.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_calcium_scan

    Lesion specific calcium score. The Agatston score, named after its developer Arthur Agatston, is a measure of calcium on a coronary CT calcium scan. [7] The original work, published in 1990, [8] was based on electron beam computed tomography (also known as ultrafast CT or EBCT). The score is calculated using a weighted value assigned to the ...

  4. Precision and recall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall

    To calculate the recall for a given class, we divide the number of true positives by the prevalence of this class (number of times that the class occurs in the data sample). The class-wise precision and recall values can then be combined into an overall multi-class evaluation score, e.g., using the macro F1 metric. [21]

  5. Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_ratios_in...

    This formula can be calculated algebraically by combining the steps in the preceding description. In fact, post-test probability , as estimated from the likelihood ratio and pre-test probability , is generally more accurate than if estimated from the positive predictive value of the test, if the tested individual has a different pre-test ...

  6. Diagnostic odds ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_odds_ratio

    The rationale for the diagnostic odds ratio is that it is a single indicator of test performance (like accuracy and Youden's J statistic) but which is independent of prevalence (unlike accuracy) and is presented as an odds ratio, which is familiar to medical practitioners. [citation needed]

  8. Predictive value of tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_value_of_tests

    Predictive value of tests is the probability of a target condition given by the result of a test, [1] often in regard to medical tests.. In cases where binary classification can be applied to the test results, such yes versus no, test target (such as a substance, symptom or sign) being present versus absent, or either a positive or negative test), then each of the two outcomes has a separate ...

  9. Pre- and post-test probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-_and_post-test_probability

    Likelihood ratio is calculated from sensitivity and specificity of the test, and thereby it does not depend on prevalence in the reference group, [2] and, likewise, it does not change with changed pre-test probability, in contrast to positive or negative predictive values (which would change).
