Sensitivity definition

Sensitivity means the GNSS performance indicator to evaluate the minimum power of the signal per one satellite at the antenna input that makes the GNSS receiver able to fix a position.

Sensitivity means the capability of a method or instru- ment to discriminate between measurement responses represent- ing different levels of analyte, or the capability of a method or instrument to detect an analyte at or above a stated quantity.

Sensitivity means the change in instrument response which cor- responds to a change in the measured quantity (e.g., analyte concen- tration). Sensitivity is commonly defined as the gradient of the re- sponse curve or slope of the calibration curve at a level near the LOQ.

Examples of Sensitivity in a sentence

• Cognitive reactivity, a psychological vulnerability marker of depression, was also measured, using the Depressed States Checklist (DSC; Xxxxxxxx & Xxx, 2001) and the Leiden Index of Depression Sensitivity (Xxx xxx Xxxx, 2002a).

• Sensitivity represents the degree to which caregiving behavior reflects awareness of infant signals and communications, and the ability to respond appropriately and promptly to infant cues and signals.

• Sensitivity measures (A’) were calculated for the proportion of correctly recognized patterns, corrected for response tendency by the formula: A’ = 1-1/4(fr/cr + (1-cr)/(1-fr)), in which fr = the proportion of falsely recognized patterns and cr = proportion of correctly recognized patterns (signal detection theory; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, 1964).

• The Leiden Index of Depression Sensitivity is a self- rating scale of cognitive reactivity, with subscales ‘hopelessness’, ‘rumination’, ‘harm avoidance’, ‘aggression’, ‘control/ perfectionism’ and ‘acceptance/coping’ (Van der Does, 2002a).
