Validity refers to the accuracy of an assessment in measuring what it is intended to measure. In the context of hits, correct rejections, misses, and false alarms, validity is important in ensuring that the assessment is able to accurately differentiate between the presence and absence of a particular trait or behavior. This helps to maximize hits and correct rejections (i.e. accurate detections of the trait or behavior), while minimizing misses and false alarms (i.e. incorrect detections of the trait or behavior). A base ratio and selection ratio are not relevant to this context, and while utility is important in general, it does not specifically relate to maximizing hits and correct rejections and minimizing misses and false alarms.
