cond_false
is a frequency that describes the
number of individuals in the current population N
for which the condition is FALSE
(i.e., actually false cases).
cond_false
An object of class numeric
of length 1.
Key relationships:
to probabilities:
The frequency of cond_false
individuals depends on the population size N
and
the complement of the condition's prevalence 1 - prev
and is split further into two subsets of
fa
by the false alarm rate fart
and
cr
by the specificity spec
.
Perspectives:
by condition:
The frequency cond_false
is determined by the population size N
times the complement of the prevalence (1 - prev)
:
by decision:
a. The frequency fa
is determined by cond_false
times the false alarm rate fart = (1 - spec)
(aka. FPR
):
fa = cond_false x fart = cond_false x (1 - spec)
b. The frequency cr
is determined by cond_false
times the specificity spec = (1 - fart)

to other frequencies:
In a population of size N
the following relationships hold:
Current frequency information is computed by
comp_freq
and contained in a list
freq
.
Consult Wikipedia: Confusion matrix for additional information.
is_freq
