Sensitivity and specificity. Sensitivity and specificity are concepts used to assess a clinical test. Sensitivity is a measure that determines the ability of a test to correctly classify an individual as sick or diseased. Specificity is a measure of the ability of a test to correctly classify an individual as healthy or disease-free. Parikh and others reckons that sensitivity and specificity are inversely proportional, which means that as the value of sensitivity increases, the value of specificity decreases and vice versa.
Price Sensitivity. Price sensitivity can be defined as the degree to which consumersâ behaviors are affected by the price of the product or service. Price sensitivity is also known as price elasticity of demand and this means the extent to which sale of a particular product or service is affected. Another way of explaining price sensitivity is, âthe consumer demand for a product is changed by the cost of the product.
