The Story Template algorithm (the test group)’s categorical diagnosis of subjects: either classic or non-classic will be compared to the control group (the gold standard)’s classification of those same subjects.  The Story Template Algorithm’s credibility will be assessed in terms of percent sensitivity, percent specificity, and percent accuracy.  From there, a conclusion of the Story Template’s validity as a diagnostic test will be drawn and presented in a supplemental manuscript to be published in June 2010.

Slide 12

To qualify as a classic by the Story Template Algorithm’s definition, the subject must meet a set requirement for inclusion, duration, and position of 16 story components.  These components include elements of plot, character roles, themes, chords, character strands, and other elements. 
Eventually these scores for all variables were compiled into one assessment: whether the Story Template Algorithm identifies the subject categorically as a “classic” or “non-classic”.  To be identified as a “classic” according to the Story Template’s definition, the subject was required to exhibit all 16 of the isolated components.  If one of these components was lacking, the subject would therefore be identified as a “non-classic”.
