Is there any data on the false negative rate?
- hprotagonist 7y agoshocking no-one, i haven't seen a single confusion matrix in any reporting for COVID19 test efficacy.
- hamburglar1 7y agoI would say what we really care about is Sensitivity and Specificity rather than a confusion matrix, given the confusion matrix is a function of the actual positive incidence rate of the population tested and consequently a problematic measure in this case.
- hprotagonist 7y agowell, how do you get one without the other? either way i haven’t seen ROC, precision/recall, d’, or F1 scores either.
- raphlinus 7y agoIt's the same platform as runs an existing flu test. Obviously the Covid-19 version was done in a rush, so it might not be quite as good, but the sensitivity and specificity rates for influenza are amazing: sensitivity above 95% and specificity near 100%.
