Medical screening tests are used to check for the presence on disease, evidence of illegal drug use, etc. The its sensitivity and its specificity. The sensitivity among those with the condition that will test positive. The specichy proportion among those without the condition that will test neg sensitivity of a test is defined to be the conditional ng those without the condition that will test negative. More formally, the test is defined to be the conditional probability that a person...

Although the concepts of sensitivity and specificity are usually applied to diagnostic laboratory or screening tests, they are equally valid for other tests that indicate the presence or absence of disease. These may be tests designed to elicit certain physical signs of disease by examination (e.g. hypertension, cervical cancer, neurological defects, and tendency to hemorrhage) or questions aimed at uncovering symptoms. Suppose that a short psychometric questionnaire that was devised to detect undiagnosed cases of personality disorder was found, after...
