TEST SPECIFICITYName:
The parameters N11, N12, N21, and N22 denote the counts for each category. Success and failure can denote any binary response. Dataplot expects "success" to be coded as "1" and "failure" to be coded as "0". Some typical examples would be:
In these examples, the "ground truth" is typically given as variable 1 while some estimator of the ground truth is given as variable 2. The test specificity is then N22/(N21+N22). That is, the test specificity is the probability that variable 2 is a failure given that variable 1 is a failure. In the context of the first example above, the test specificity is the probability that the test does not detect the disease given that the disease is not present.
<SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> where <y1> is the first response variable; <y2> is the second response variable; <par> is a parameter where the computed test specificity is stored; and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
