Example sentences for: fpr

How can you use “fpr” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • When the prevalence is small, as with cancer screening, a small absolute change in FPR, but not TPR, can have a large impact on the PVP.

  • Much larger odds ratio are needed from early detection tests for useful application in the screening setting [ 13 ] . For example, for the target values of FPR = .01 and TPR = .80, the odds ratio equals (TPR × (1-FPR)/ ((1-TPR) × FPR) = 396, as in Table 1.

  • A plot of the FPR and TPR for each region would lead to a cloud of points, rather than the smooth curve in Figure 1. To create the best ROC curve, one should select those points that are highest and farthest to the left, which is generally all that would need to be presented and only for small false positive rates.

  • Thus, in this particular example, the combination of markers leads to a much better test than the separate markers, with a smaller FPR (.04 versus .20) for the same TPR of .80.

  • In Table 1, TPR is estimated by 80/100 = .80, and FPR is estimated by 10/1000 = 01.
