Specificity and sensitivity in simulation S3. The plot shows the values of specificity and sensitivity for different levels of overlap (every point in the plot is computed on the basis of 1000 tests). We observe that the specificity of the test does not vary substantially for different levels of overlap, and is always close to 95 % as expected. The sensitivity, instead, slightly reduces as the percentage of overlap increases
