Betreff: st: graphing sensitivity and specificity for a binary test outcome

Dear Statalist members,

With the following code I simulate diagnostic data and, in the last  
line, estimate specificity (cell A in the 2x2 table) and sensitivity  
(cell D).
What I'm hoping to learn is how to create a bar graph that would  
display the specificity and sensitivity percentages for both methods 1  
and 2.

set obs 1000	
set seed 12358	
gen test=1 + int(2*uniform())	
replace test=0 if test==2
replace test=1 in 1/300		
gen disease=0 in 1/500
replace disease=1 in 501/1000
list in 1/20
tab test disease, row
gen device=1 + int(2*uniform())	
bysort device: tab test disease, row
