Prediction model characteristics at different points on the receiver operating characteristic curve

Sensitivity Specificity Positive predictive value Negative predictive value Positive likelihood ratio Negative likelihood ratio
0.99 0.10 0.31 0.94 1.1 0.2
0.90 0.40 0.38 0.91 1.5 0.3
0.64 0.75 0.51 0.84 2.6 0.5
0.38 0.90 0.60 0.78 2.8 0.5
0.10 0.99 0.80 0.73 9.7 0.9

Values are presented for 90 and 99 percent sensitivity and specificity, as well as at Youden’s Index where there is optimal trade-off of sensitivity and specificity, assuming equal weighting of false positives and false negatives.
