A likelihood based sensitivity analysis for publication bias on summary ROC in meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy [PDF]
, 2021 In meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy, summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) is a recommended method to summarize the discriminant capacity of a diagnostic test in the presence of study-specific cutoff values and the area under the SROC (SAUC) gives the aggregate measure of test accuracy.

What are sensitivity and specificity? [PDF]
Evidence Based Nursing, 2019 Whenever we create a test to screen for a disease, to detect an abnormality or to measure a physiological parameter such as blood pressure (BP), we must determine how valid that test is—does it measure what it sets out to measure accurately? There are lots of factors that combine to describe how valid a test is: sensitivity and specificity are two such
