Table 3. Summary of Sensitivity (false positive rate) and Specificity (false negative rate).

Summary of Sensitivity (false positive rate) and Specificity (false negative rate) when comparing the electric field (EF) sensor-based method against the electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) method (considered the ground truth) for scoring sleep. Novice scorer sensitivity and specificity, in which expert scorers are considered the ground truth, are calculated for the EF scoring method. Data are broken down by arousal state and summarized with an aggregate. P-values represent the comparison Novice #1 vs. Novice #2. Data represented as mean ± standard deviation.
