Specificity
Also called the true negative rate. Measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified as such (e.g., the percentage of healthy people are correctly identified as not having the condition). Calculated as TN/TN+FP where TN is true negative (test negative, don’t have the disease) and FP is false positive (test positive, don’t have the disease).
