Really wish they broke "86% accuracy" into precision and recall.

  Here's the paper: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1552526014024546 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1552526014... Re your comment: "accuracy 87%, sensitivity 85%, and specificity 88%"

    What does that mean for false positive and true negative?

      Sensitivity is the true positive rate, specificity is the true negative rate. From the body of the paper, for their chosen test, their False Positive Rate appears to be 21.2% (100% - 68.8%) and their False Negative Rate appears to be 5.1% (100% - 94.9%). For this type of test, its the false negative rate that we'll really worry about.

    Wow, that's odd. Why does accuracy drop when MRI is included?

    Ah, much appreciated.
