Sensitivity is the probability of a positive test result given that the person has the disease (), while specificity is the probability of a negative test result given that the person does not have the disease (). In the model, both are assumed to be , but they apply to different subgroups: the sick versus the healthy.
Conditions: The test has sensitivity.; The test has specificity.; The model distinguishes between diseased and non-diseased populations.
