These [[attachment:posneglik.pdf | pdf slides]] indicate how to use specificity and sensitivity to obtain positive and negative likelihood ratios and rules of thumb to evaluate them to assess discrimination of the model. Slide ten of these [[attachment:posneglik.pdf | pdf slides]] indicates rules of thumb for assessing positive and negative likelihood ratios to evaluate them to assess discrimination of the model.

where

Positive likelihood ratio = Sensitivity / (1 - Specificity)

Negative likelihood ratio = (1 - Sensitivity) / Specificity

The slides also briefly mention Hierarchical ROC curves which are useful for plotting curves combining within and between study variances from studies in meta-analyses.
