Figure 4

Specificity (%) for 5 methods for 34 adult causes. Figure 4 shows the median specificity for each method (except King-Lu which does not provide individual cause of death assignments) for 34 adult causes. Cells are shaded from red (low specificity) to green (high specificity) to help identify the relative differences between specificities across methods and causes. COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; GBD, Global Burden of Disease; HCE, health care experience; PCVA, physician-certified VA; RF, Random Forest; SSP, Simplified Symptom Pattern; TB, tuberculosis; VA, verbal autopsy.
