A Software Tool for Calculating the Uncertainty of Diagnostic Accuracy Measures

چکیده

Screening and diagnostic tests are applied for the classification of people into diseased non-diseased populations. Although accuracy measures used to evaluate correctness in clinical research practice, there has been limited on their uncertainty. The objective this work was develop a tool calculating uncertainty measures, as is fundamental decision-making. For reason, freely available interactive program Diagnostic Uncertainty developed Wolfram Language. provides six modules with nine submodules plotting standard combined, measurement sampling resultant confidence intervals various screening or tests, which measure normally distributed measurand, at single point time samples This done differing sample sizes, mean deviation threshold test. application demonstrated an illustrative example glucose measurements diabetic non-diabetic populations, that shows calculation measures. presented user-friendly can be flexible educational medical decision-making, calculate explore

Diagnostic accuracy measures.

BACKGROUND An increasing number of diagnostic tests and biomarkers have been validated during the last decades, and this will still be a prominent field of research in the future because of the need for personalized medicine. Strict evaluation is needed whenever we aim at validating any potential diagnostic tool, and the first requirement a new testing procedure must fulfill is diagnostic accur...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy: Basic Definitions

Diagnostic accuracy relates to the ability of a test to discriminate between the target condition and health. This discriminative potential can be quantified by the measures of diagnostic accuracy such as sensitivity and specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios, the area under the ROC curve, Youden's index and diagnostic odds ratio. Different measures of diagnostic accuracy relate to t...

a standard for the reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies

the most important goal of clinical researches is publishing the results in order to improve human health. if the results will be accepted by the scientific community, researcher aim would be achieved at improving public health. a published article does not guarantee the acceptance of its findings by the scientific community, hence, research should be done by considering a scientific plan. due ...
