10 Questions
The area under the curve for an ROC plot gives a summary of how well a model works across a variety of thresholds.
True
A high likelihood ratio indicates that a patient is very likely to have the disease or condition.
True
In an ROC plot, the x-axis represents the number of False Positives (FPs).
False
Likelihood ratios are used in medical testing to help physicians decide on the appropriate treatment for a patient.
False
A low likelihood ratio indicates that a patient is more likely to have the disease or condition.
False
The True Positive Rate (TPR) is the proportion of answers that were provided correctly as 'true' in an ROC plot.
False
The False Positive Rate (FPR) is the proportion of answers that were provided incorrectly as 'false' in an ROC plot.
True
The higher the area under the curve in an ROC plot, the worse the model's performance.
False
An ROC plot is used to evaluate predictive models based on their ability to distinguish between different classes.
True
Likelihood ratios can assist in ruling out diseases or conditions based on test results.
True
Learn about the formula for the likelihood ratio (LR) used in medical testing to interpret test results. Understand the significance of positive and negative likelihood ratios and how they impact the probability of having a disease based on test results.
