Table 4.

Classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values (PPV, NPV, respectively) of each individual variable for the AOS-Aphasia group relative to all other participants.

Variable Accuracy Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Criterion score
VOT-SDvoiced 68 (n.s.) 50 78 55 74 0.03
nPVI-V 79 85 76 65 90 57
Distortion errors 84 60 97 93 82 11%

16 Hz–32 Hz 82 70 89 78 85 0.24

Note. All variables yielded significant predictive models with the exception of the VOT-SDvoiced variable (n.s. = nonsignificant). The last column reports the criterion score for the given variable's sensitivity/specificity. The two predictors with highest values for each metric are presented in bold and underlined text.

AOS = apraxia of speech; VOT-SD = standard deviation of voice onset time; nPVI-V = normalized Pairwise Variability Index–Vowels.
