Positive Predictive Value
A direct numerical check before comparing methods for positive predictive value
Calculates the chance that a positive test result is a true positive. The named quantity is positive predictive value calculator. This is section 1 of the positive predictive value discussion.
Save the inputs, formula convention, units, exclusions, and unrounded output with this result. This statement is conditional on the positive predictive value setup and section 1.
For positive predictive value, 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.
Interpreting the result when the result is reused for positive predictive value
PPV depends strongly on prevalence as well as test performance. The named quantity is positive predictive value calculator. This is section 2 of the positive predictive value discussion.
80 true positives among 100 positive calls give PPV .80. This statement is conditional on the positive predictive value setup and section 2.
