False Positive Rate Calculator
Calculates the false-positive rate among non-diseased cases. The worked condition keeps the inputs and convention visible for checking.
Set the labeled inputs
False Positive Rate
When another method fits before reporting for false positive rate
Calculates the false-positive rate among non-diseased cases. The named quantity is false positive rate calculator. This is section 1 of the false positive rate discussion.
Save the inputs, formula convention, units, exclusions, and unrounded output with this result. This statement is conditional on the false positive rate setup and section 1.
For false positive rate, preserve the source definition, the stated units, and the named convention beside the displayed number. A second analyst should be able to reconstruct the same result without guessing which population or setup was intended.
A controlled alternative under the stated model for false positive rate
This is one minus specificity under the same reference definition. The named quantity is false positive rate calculator. This is section 2 of the false positive rate discussion.
10 false positives among 100 non-diseased cases give a rate of .10. This statement is conditional on the false positive rate setup and section 2.
For false positive rate, preserve the denominator choice, the stated units, and the named convention beside the displayed number. A second analyst should be able to reconstruct the same result without guessing which population or setup was intended.
What the result can support when the sample changes for false positive rate
This is one minus specificity under the same reference definition. The named quantity is false positive rate calculator. This is section 3 of the false positive rate discussion.
Save the inputs, formula convention, units, exclusions, and unrounded output with this result. This statement is conditional on the false positive rate setup and section 3.
For false positive rate, preserve the comparison group, the stated units, and the named convention beside the displayed number. A second analyst should be able to reconstruct the same result without guessing which population or setup was intended.
A check on the stated parameter during an independent review for false positive rate
