Antibody-Based Diagnostic Tests for Lyme Disease
Most diagnostic tests are based on the detection of specific antibodies in the blood of patients suspected of having a given infection. Such tests, especially those that have survived years of rigorous scrutiny and have been validated and approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), have been invaluable in the cont...
متن کاملStatistical Properties of Model-Based Signal Extraction Diagnostic Tests
A model-based diagnostic test for signal extraction was first described in Maravall (2003), and this basic idea was modified and studied in Findley, McElroy, and Wills (2004). The paper at hand improves on the latter work in two ways: central limit theorems for the diagnostics are developed, and two hypothesis-testing paradigms for practical use are explicitly described. A further modified diag...
متن کاملModel Confidence Set Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence Distance
Consider the problem of estimating true density, h(.) based upon a random sample X1,…, Xn. In general, h(.)is approximated using an appropriate in some sense, see below) model fƟ(x). This article using Vuong's (1989) test along with a collection of k(> 2) non-nested models constructs a set of appropriate models, say model confidence set, for unknown model h(.).Application of such confide...
متن کاملDiagnostic tests for chancroid.
Background The identification of the causative agent of chancroid, Haemophilus ducreyi, was first reported in 1889 by August Ducrey, as a short streptobacillary rod with rounded ends, following experiments in which he autoinoculated patients’ forearms with pus from their genital ulcers. Bezancon et al subsequently inoculated the forearms of human volunteers with culture purified organisms and p...
متن کاملDiagnostic tests for frailty
A common way of allowing heterogeneity between individuals in models for lifetime data is to introduce an unobservable individual random effect Z. In a proportional hazards framework, the individual’s hazard becomes zhb(t) where hb(t) is the baseline hazard. The random variable Z is often assumed to follow the Gamma or Inverse Gaussian distribution. We develop here diagnostic tests for these as...
