Value

Definition

Equation

ACC

The proportion of samples correctly predicted

\(ACC=\frac{Samples\;tested\;as\;male\;that\;is\;male\;+\;Samples\;tested\;as\;female\;that\;is\;female}{Total\;Samples\;Size}\times100\%\)

Sensitivity

The proportion of samples tested as male

\(Sensitivity=\frac{Samples\;tested\;as\;male\;that\;is\;male\;}{Male\;Sample\;Size}\times100\%\)

Specificity

The proportion of samples tested as female

\(Specificity=\frac{Samples\;tested\;as\;female\;that\;is\;female}{Female\;Sample\;Size}\times100\%\)

PPV

The proportion of samples judged to be male by the test that is male

\(PPV=\frac{Samples\;tested\;as\;male\;that\;is\;male}{Samples\;tested\;as\;male}\times100\%\)

NPV

The proportion of samples judged to be female by the test that is female

\(NPV=\frac{Samples\;tested\;as\;female\;that\;is\;female}{Samples\;tested\;as\;female}\times100\%\)
