• Importance of multi-modal approaches to effectively identify cataract cases from electronic health records (2012, methodology): “Analysis Validation results for the algorithms are summarized with standard statistical information retrieval metrics, sensitivity (or recall), specificity, PPV (or precision), and negative predictive value (NPV).(37) 38 Sampling for the validation was stratified with different sampling fractions in”
• The Precision-Recall Plot Is More Informative than the ROC Plot When Evaluating Binary Classifiers on Imbalanced Datasets (2015, background): “Sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) are also popular [31].”
• Predictive validity performance indicators in violence risk assessment: a methodological primer. (2013, neutral): “The PPV is the proportion of those judged to be at high risk of committing a violent act who go on to do so, whereas the NPV is the proportion of those judged to be at low risk who do not (Altman & Bland, 1994b).”
