| Suggested pre-reading | What this web page adds |
|---|---|
| This web-page provides an EPV calculator. You will understand more what this is about if you do the pre-reading. |
Etiologic Predictive Value (EPV) is designed to calculate the predictive value of test while considering the possibility of carriers of the marker the test is designed to detect. EPV produces predictive value of tests without requiring a gold standard . More background information can be found on the web page introducing EPV. The calculator below calculates Positive and negative EPV with 95% confidence intervals.
