maximus The way I think about sensitivity is that sensitivity is only concerned with sick people (true positives divided by the sum of true positives + false negatives). Sensitivity doesn't rule out anything: it is only a measure of how well you identity the disease (in those that HAVE the disease). https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Sensitivity_and_specificity_1.01.svg/341px-Sensitivity_and_specificity_1.01.svg.png +
