On the Origin of Sensitivity and Specificity

Annals of Internal Medicine, 2021
Although it is commonly said that the notions of sensitivity and specificity were first defined by Jacob Yerushalmy in 1947, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests have been assessed as far back as the early 1900s. These notions share a common origin with the development of serology.

The (In)Validity of sensitivity and specificity

Statistics in Medicine, 2000
This paper is a legacy of the first author, and after her untimely death reconstructed by the second author as a tribute to Irene Guggenmoos's contribution to biostatistics. It discusses two different views on diagnostic testing: the classical view in which sensitivity and specificity of a diagnostic test are considered universal constants, and the ...

Sensitivity, Specificity, and Predictive Values in the 'Sensitivity and Specificity of Clinical Diagnostics'

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1989
To the Editor.— The article concerning postmortem evaluation of clinical diagnostics during five decades1is a good effort to analyze disparate data that can be resistant to marshaling by ordinary statistical methods. However, I think that the true-negative category, within the constraints of this study, is largely a passive statistic that sheds little

Sensitivity and specificity for correlated observations

Statistics in Medicine, 1992
AbstractA general estimating equation approach is used to obtain estimates of sensitivity and specificity when the data consist of correlated binary outcomes. First order approximations to the variances of estimated sensitivity and specificity for prospective and retrospective studies are given.

Lead Systems: Sensitivity and Specificity

Cardiology Clinics, 1984
In this article, the modified 12-lead system and the bipolar lead systems are discussed, both of which may provide adequate sensitivity and specificity of stress tests for clinical purposes. A single lead V5 or, preferably, bipolar modification of lead V5 may be adequate in certain situations in which cost or the type of population being tested ...

Sensitivity and Specificity of a Monitoring Test

Biometrics, 1985
The usefulness of a diagnostic test is generally assessed by calculating the sensitivity and specificity, or the predictive value positive and predictive value negative of the test. When subjects are monitored periodically for evidence of disease, these calculations must incorporate the varying amounts of information per individual. If in addition, the

Mining Dataflow Sensitive Specifications

2013
Specification mining has become an attractive tool for assisting in numerous software development and maintenance tasks. The majority of these techniques share a common assumption: significant program properties occur frequently. Unfortunately, statistical inference alone produces too many program properties, many of which are found to be either ...
