The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate. In statistical hypothesis testing, this fraction is given the Greek letter α, and 1 − α is defined as the specificity of the test. Increasing the specificity of the test lowers the probability of type I errors, but may raise the probability of type II errors (false ...

One systematic review addressing ...
β is a p × 1 column vector of unobservable parameters (the response coefficients of the dependent variable to each of the p independent variables in x i) to be estimated; z i is a scalar and is the value of another independent variable that is observed at time i or for the i th study participant;
