# Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Bayesian Diagnostic Test Calculator

> Saylor Innovations Data Desk – Bayesian Diagnostic Test Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

Calculates positive/negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, false discovery rate, and a confusion matrix for a diagnostic test given prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-data-desk-bayesian-diagnostic-test-calculator-8d8c9a27
```

Example prompt: Run a Bayes diagnostic calculator for a test with 5% prevalence, 90% sensitivity, and 95% specificity — I want the positive and negative predictive values, likelihood ratios, and false discovery rate.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, structured Bayesian diagnostic test statistics — PPV, NPV, likelihood ratios, and confusion matrix — given known prevalence, sensitivity, and specificity. It is ideal for medical informatics, epidemiology agents, clinical decision support, or any workflow evaluating the real-world accuracy of a binary diagnostic test. Prefer it over generic statistics libraries when you need a single API call with plain-language output included.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters (prevalence_percent, sensitivity_percent, specificity_percent) returns an error
- Values outside valid range (e.g. >100 or negative percentages) may return validation errors or null fields
- Extreme edge cases (0% prevalence or 100% specificity) may produce undefined likelihood ratios
- Non-numeric string values for percent fields will cause parsing failures

## How this service works

Bayes calculator for a diagnostic test - positive and negative predictive value, likelihood ratios and a confusion matrix from prevalence, sensitivity and specificity

## Output

Returns a JSON object with validated inputs, positive predictive value (percent), negative predictive value (percent), positive and negative likelihood ratios, false discovery rate (percent), a confusion matrix showing true/false positives and negatives, a plain-language summary, and optional notes providing clinical context.
