The ability of measurement to be correct on the average
Legend:
Remember Previous
Lecturer Book Trans Com ACCURACY = True Positive + True Negative
(Exams) Trans
True Positive + True Negative + False Positive + False Negative

I. SOURCES OF VARIATION
The ability of a measurement to give the same or a very
A. INTRA-OBSERVER VARIATION (WITHIN OBSERVER) similar result with repeated measurements of the same

B. SPECIFICITY
The ability of test to label as negative those who dont have
the disease or
The ability of a test to detect non disease when there is
really no disease
SPECIFICITY = +
Sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN)
=350/(350+150) x100
= 70%
Specificity =TN/(TN+FP)
= 200/(200+250) x100
= 44%
PPV = TP/(TP+FP)
Figure 4. Effect of Sensitivity. =350/(350+250) x100
= 58%
NPV = TN/(TN+FN)
= 200/(200+150) x100
= 57%
Sensitivity = TP/(TP+FN)
Figure 5. Effect of Change of Specificity. = 100/ (100 + 300) x 100

Change in specificity has a greater impact on PPV than
Change in Sensitivity Specificity = TN/(TN+FP)
= 400 / (400 + 200) x 100
