riskyr (version 0.1.0)

cr: Frequency of correct rejections or true negatives (TN).

Description

cr is the frequency of correct rejections or true negatives (TN) in a population of N individuals.

Usage

cr

Format

An object of class numeric of length 1.

Details

Definition: cr is the frequency of individuals for which Condition = FALSE and Decision = FALSE (negative).

cr is a measure of correct classifications, not an individual case.

Relationships:

1. to probabilities: The frequency cr depends on the specificity spec (aka. true negative rate, TNR) and is conditional on the prevalence prev.

2. to other frequencies: In a population of size N the following relationships hold:

   • N = cond.true + cond.false (by condition)

   • N = dec.pos + dec.neg (by decision)

   • N = dec.cor + dec.err (by correspondence of decision to condition)

   • N = hi + mi + fa + cr (by condition x decision)
