Abstract

The diagnosis tests (DT) under classical statistics are applied under the assumption that all observations in the data are determined. Therefore, these DT cannot be applied for the analysis of the data when some or all observations are not determined. The neutrosophic statistics (NS) which is the extension of classical statistics can be applied for the data having uncertain, unclear, and fuzzy observations. In this paper, we will present the DT, and gold-standard tests under NS are called neutrosophic diagnosis tests (NDT). Therefore, the proposed NDT is the generalization of the existing DT and can be applied under the uncertainty environment. We will present the NDT table and present a real example from the medical field. The use of the proposed method will be more effective and adequate to be used in medical science, biostatistics, decision, and classification analysis.
