Estimation Of Sensitivity And Specificity For Clustered Data, Yasemi̇n Genç, Derya Gökmen, Ersöz Tüccar, Banu Yağmurlu
Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences
The most commonly used measurements for evaluating the accuracy of diagnostic tests in binary data are sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity refers to the ability of a test to detect patients with some specific disease. Specificity describes how well test abnormality is restricted to those persons who have the disease in question. The variance estimators of these measurements are usually obtained using a binomial estimator, although there are several other methods. However, under certain conditions more than one observation can be taken from a subject and analyses are performed on these observations. This type of data structure is called "clustered data". …
