Mistake in Calculating the Positive Predictive Value
As I read the study by Bakhtiari et al. (1), I noticed that they miscalculated the positive predictive value. They indicated that the positive predictive value of the PCR assay was 100%. But when I placed the values on the table and calculated the positive predictive value of the PCR assay, I found it 83.3%.
متن کاملCommon Mistake in Contract Law
English Contract Law has long struggled to understand the effect of a fundamental common mistake in contract formation. Bell v. Lever Brothers Ltd. [1932] A.C. 161 recognises that a common mistake which totally undermines a contract renders it void. Solle v. Butcher [1950] 1 K.B. 671 recognises a doctrine of ‘mistake in equity’ under which a serious common mistake in contract formation falling ...
متن کاملPolynomial Time Prediction Strategy with Almost Optimal Mistake Probability
We give the first polynomial time prediction strategy for any PAC-learnable class C that probabilistically predicts the target with mistake probability poly(log(t)) t = Õ ( 1 t ) where t is the number of trials. The lower bound for the mistake probability is [HLW94]
متن کاملCalculating the Probability of a Partial Parse of a Sentence
I N T R O D U C T I O N Stochastic context-free grammars have been suggested for a role in speech-recognition algorithms, e.g. [1, 4, 9]. In order to he fully effective as an adjunct to speech recognition, the power of the probability apparatus needs to be applied to the problem of controlling the branched search for parses of ambiguous input. The method we suggest for doing this employs shift-...
متن کاملCalculating the probability of multitaxon evolutionary trees :
The reconstruction of multitaxon trees from molecular sequences is confounded by the variety of algorithms and criteria used to evaluate trees, making it difficult to compare the results of different analyses. A global method of multitaxon phylogenetic reconstruction described here, Bootstrappers Gambit, can be used with any four-taxon algorithm, including distance, maximum likelihood, and pars...
