The tes t res ult variable(s ): scor test 1 has at least one tie
between the positive actual s tate group and the negative
actual state group.
a. The smallest cutoff value is the minimum
observed test value minus 1, and the largest cutoff
value is the maximum observed test value plus 1.
All the other cutoff values are the averages of two
consecutive ordered obs erved test values .
Prima coloan conine fiecare dintre posibilele puncte de tiere ce ar putea face diferena
ntre cele dou categorii, derivate din scorurile totale ale instrumentului; a doua conine
sensibilitatea obinut dac punctul de tiere ar fi stabilit la acea valoare, iar ultima conine
indicatorul 1 specificitatea, rezultat n aceeai situaie. De exemplu, punctul de tiere ar fi
stabilit la 6,5, atunci sensibilitatea ar avea valoarea 0,485, adic 48,5% dintre subiecii care au n
realitate depresie ar fi diagnosticai ca atare; parametrul 1 specificitatea ar fi 0,121, deci 12,1%
dintre oamenii care nu au n realitate depresie ar fi identificai de test ca fiind depresivi
(specificitatea ar fi de 87,9%).
Tabelul urmtor conine valoarea ariei de sub curb i testarea semnificaiei diferenei
sale fa de 0,5 (ghicirea la ntmplare).

Aici, scopul diagnostic poate fi urmrit prin stabilirea punctului de tiere la 5,5, deoarece
el echilibreaz cel mai mult cei doi parametri: 0,588 la sensibilitate i 0,636 la sensibilitate (10,364). n scop de screening punctul de tiere ar putea fi stabilit la 2,5, ceea ce ar asigura
sensibilitatea maxim, ns specificitatea ar fi extrem de redus (de doar 0,061, deci peste 90%
din oamenii care nu au depresie ar fi diagnosticai greit ca avnd). Acest procent extrem de
mare al identificrilor pozitive eronate face ca instrumentul 1 s fie mai puin recomandat pentru
screening.
