PPV Robustness Function.
The sensitivity, σ, and the specificity, ψ, each take the value 0.9. The estimated prevalence, π~, is 0.15, and the estimated error of π~ is ws=π~/3. The expert estimate of the positive predictive value, PPV, is denoted PPVe. The acceptable error of this estimate is ɛ.
σ=ψ=0.9, π~=0.15, ws=π~/3.
