Dear allstaters,
probably it a very too simple question, but anyway, it's too late to solve.
Does anybody have a CI for the Youden-Index = Sens + Spec - 1? In
otherwords: A CI for the expected value of the sum of 2 binominal
distributed random variables. I could do that asymptotically, but that is
not nice for the current (medical diagnostic) setting.
Regards Steffen
