A new metric NPV

Open Asunatan opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

🚀 Feature

NPV (Negative Predictive Value) is a metric used to evaluate the accuracy of a medical test or diagnostic method.

Motivation

NPV (Negative Predictive Value) is a metric used to evaluate the accuracy of a medical test or diagnostic method. It measures the proportion of individuals who are truly negative among those who test negative. In simple terms, NPV represents the percentage of true negatives in the population tested negative.

The formula to calculate NPV is as follows:

NPV = TN / (TN + FN)

Here, True Negatives refer to the number of individuals who are actually negative and test negative, while False Negatives represent the number of individuals who are actually negative but test positive (false negative errors).
