Dear allstaters,
I need to calculate the confidence intervals for sensitivity, specificity,
positive and negative predictive values.
I was going to use the exact binomial method (using the F -distribution).
But then I read that the score confidence interval by Agresti and Coull
(1998) are even better than the exact binomial, even for the smallest
sample sizes ( as the exact confidence intervals tend to be conservative
(too wide)).
Do you have any recommendation upon this subject?
Thank you,
Ioanna
