Paraconsistent Sensitivity Analysis for Bayesian Significance Tests
In this paper, the notion of degree of inconsistency is introduced as a tool to evaluate the sensitivity of the Full Bayesian Significance Test (FBST) value of evidence with respect to changes in the prior or reference density. For that, both the definition of the FBST, a possibilistic approach to hypothesis testing based on Bayesian probability procedures, and the use of bilattice structures, ...
متن کاملTests for One-Sample Sensitivity and Specificity
The power analysis of a diagnostic test is often based on the sensitivity and specificity of the test. In such a test, the outcome of the diagnostic screening test is compared to the gold standard. In the common case-control study, the gold standard must be known before. In a prospective study, the gold standard is determined subsequent to the study, so the case-control framework is not appropr...
متن کاملSensitivity And Specificity Of Procalcitonin In Diagnosis Of Neonatal Sepsis
Background and Objective: According to the fact that neonatal infection is a challenging diagnosis field, several studies have tried to test sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests. This study was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of procalcitonin (PCT) as a single early marker of neonatal sepsis. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 neonates admitted to NIC...
متن کاملEstimation of sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tests and disease prevalence when the true disease state is unknown.
The performance of a new diagnostic test is frequently evaluated by comparison to a perfect reference test (i.e. a gold standard). In many instances, however, a reference test is less than perfect. In this paper, we review methods for estimation of the accuracy of a diagnostic test when an imperfect reference test with known classification errors is available. Furthermore, we focus our presenta...
متن کاملUnderstanding diagnostic tests 1: sensitivity, specificity and predictive values.
UNLABELLED The usefulness of diagnostic tests, that is their ability to detect a person with disease or exclude a person without disease, is usually described by terms such as sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. In this article, the first of the series, a simple, practical explanation of these concepts is provided and their use and misuse discussed...
