public class SensitivityForFixedSpecificity
extends TwoClassAbstractPerformanceMeasure
implements NumericalPerformanceMeasure

This class implements the sensitivity for a fixed specificity. The sensitivity is defined as and the specificity is defined as . The classification threshold for computing the sensitivity is chosen such that the classifier yields at least the specified specificity.

Constructor Detail

SensitivityForFixedSpecificity

public SensitivityForFixedSpecificity()

Constructs a new instance of the performance measure SensitivityForFixedSpecificity with empty parameter values.

SensitivityForFixedSpecificity

public SensitivityForFixedSpecificity(double specificity)
                               throws Exception

Constructs a new instance of the performance measure SensitivityForFixedSpecificity with given specificity.

Parameters:

specificity - the specificity for which the sensitivity should be computed

Throws:

Exception - if the internal parameters can not be created or the value can not be set

SensitivityForFixedSpecificity

public SensitivityForFixedSpecificity(StringBuffer xml)
                               throws NonParsableException

The standard constructor for the interface Storable. Constructs a SensitivityForFixedSpecificity out of an XML representation.

Parameters:

xml - the XML representation as StringBuffer

Throws:

NonParsableException - if the SensitivityForFixedSpecificity could not be reconstructed out of the StringBuffer xml
