Sensitivity and specificity rates are lower for other aneuploidies, such as trisomy 18 (97–99% and > 99%, respectively), trisomy 13 (87–99% and > 99%, respectively), and 45, X (92–95% and 99%, respectively). The low false positive rate (1–3%) is one of the advantages of NIPT which allows pregnant women to avoid invasive procedures. [21]
The study stated that if z-score cutoffs for trisomy 18 and 13 were raised slightly, the overall false-positive rates for the three aneuploidies could be as low as 0.1% (2/1,688) at an overall detection rate of 98.9% (280/283) for common aneuploidies (this includes all three trisomies: Down, Edwards and Patau).
The negative predictive value is defined as: = + = where a "true negative" is the event that the test makes a negative prediction, and the subject has a negative result under the gold standard, and a "false negative" is the event that the test makes a negative prediction, and the subject has a positive result under the gold standard.
The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.
An estimate of d′ can be also found from measurements of the hit rate and false-alarm rate. It is calculated as: d′ = Z(hit rate) − Z(false alarm rate), [15] where function Z(p), p ∈ [0, 1], is the inverse of the cumulative Gaussian distribution. d′ is a dimensionless statistic. A higher d′ indicates that the signal can be more ...
False negative tests can occur and the general expectation for antigen tests is an 80% accurate detection rate for infection, says David Cennimo, M.D., infectious disease expert and associate ...
The probability of type I errors is called the "false reject rate" (FRR) or false non-match rate (FNMR), while the probability of type II errors is called the "false accept rate" (FAR) or false match rate (FMR). If the system is designed to rarely match suspects then the probability of type II errors can be called the "false alarm rate". On the ...
