Sensitivity measures how well a test identifies disease-positive (D+). Specificity measures the probability that a positive test result (T+) correlates to a real D+ person. These measures tend to be inverse of each other-- that is, the more sensitive a test, the less specific it is likely to be, and vice versa.

What is the relation between Matthew correlation coefficient Sensitivity and Specificity?
The Matthew correlation coefficient considers true and false positives and negatives. The specificity correlation only considers the true classes or rejections.
What is the definition of sensitivity and specificity in a dignostic analysis?
Sensitivity in diagnostic laboratory testing represents the smallest amount of substance in a sample that can be accurately measured by an assay. Specificity in a diagnostic laboratory refers to the ability of an assay to measure one particular organism or substance.

What is the relation between Matthew correlation coefficient Sensitivity and Specificity?
The Matthew correlation coefficient considers true and false positives and negatives. The specificity correlation only considers the true classes or rejections.
Difference between single parameter sensitivity and multiple parameter sensitivity?
Difference between single parameter sensitivity and multiple parameter sensitivity is that in multiple parameter sensitivity,defined parameters cannot be measured with a high degree of accuracy in the field or in the laboratory.
Would a false positive from the reaction between the inoculating loop and hydrogen peroxide be caused by poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the test system?
no
Would a false positive from the reaction between the inoculation loop and hydrogen peroxide be caused by poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the test system?
no
Would a false positive from the reaction between the inoculating loop and hydrogen peroxide be caused by poor specificity or poor sensitivity of the catalase test system?
The false positive from the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and the inoculating loop would be caused by poor specificity. The formula for specificity is TN/TN+FP.
