Re: Coronavirus

I’m not much of a statistician but “94% detection success” seems a bit misleading to me. Passing over a negative sample isn’t a detection as such. What you really need is a very high detection of positive samples, and the dogs failed to spot 30 of the 187 positive samples presented. That’s a positive detection of only 84%.
