Diagnostic Uncertainty

Chatzimichail T, Hatjimihail AT. Diagnostic Uncertainty: A Software Tool for Calculating the Uncertainty of Diagnostic Accuracy Measures. Ver. 1.0.2. Drama: Hellenic Complex Systems Laboratory, 2021

Description

This is a software tool for calculating the uncertainty of diagnostic accuracy measures, as diagnostic accuracy is fundamental to clinical decision making. It provides six modules with nine submodules for calculating and plotting the standard measurement, sampling and combined uncertainty and the resultant confidence intervals of various diagnostic accuracy measures of screening or diagnostic tests, which measure a normally distributed measurand, applied at a single point in time in samples of non-diseased and diseased populations. This is done for differing sample sizes, mean and standard deviation of the measurand, diagnostic threshold and standard measurement uncertainty of the test.
