Table 5.

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

Variable Accuracy Sensitivity Specificity PPV NPV Criterion score
VOT-SDvoiced 63 (n.s.) 50 75 63 64 0.03
nPVI-V 75 85 67 68 84 56.8
Distortion errors 80 60 96 92 74 11%
1 Hz–2 Hz 75 70 79 74 76 0.33
4 Hz–8 Hz 71 60 79 71 70 0.40
16 Hz–32 Hz 80 70 88 82 78 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.
