Notes:
Always positive test: a test whose result always indicates positivity. Always negative test: a test whose result always indicates negativity. Fair random test: a test having 50% sensitivity and 50% specificity (ie, a flip of a fair coin).
Always positive test: a test whose result always indicates PPA. Always negative test: a test whose result always indicates NPA. Fair random test: a test having 50% PPA and 50% NPA (ie, a flip of a fair coin).
Always resistance test: a test whose result always indicates resistance. Always susceptibility test: a test whose result always indicates susceptibility. Fair random test: a test having 50% resistance sensitivity and 50% susceptibility sensitivity (ie, a flip of a fair coin).
