Accurate decisions in an uncertain world: collective cognition increases true positives while decreasing false positives.
In a wide range of contexts, including predator avoidance, medical decision-making and security screening, decision accuracy is fundamentally constrained by the trade-off between true and false positives. Increased true positives are possible only at the cost of increased false positives; conversely, decreased false positives are associated with decreased true positives. We use an integrated th...
متن کاملLow coverage mammalian sequencing
To identify the functional elements in the human genome, previous reports have recommended obtaining low (2x) coverage from 24 mammals. Our ongoing studies continue to indicate that this number of genomes (yielding 4 substitutions per base) should allow detection of conserved 6-mers with a false positive rate of 1 per 10 kb. Currently, 16 mammals have been approved for sequencing to low coverag...
متن کاملFalse positives in cancer epidemiology.
BACKGROUND A recent attempt to estimate the false-positive rate for cancer epidemiology studies is based on agents in International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) category 3 (agent not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans) in the IARC Monographs Program. METHODS The estimation method is critiqued regarding biases caused by its reliance on the IARC classification criteria for...
متن کاملStudies with low response proportions may be less biased than studies with high response proportions.
The association between the response proportion in epidemiologic studies and nonresponse bias is complicated, because exposure prevalences and misclassification errors may vary by recruitment wave. In this paper, the authors illustrate the effect of varying degrees of wave-specific nondifferential exposure measurement error in a dichotomous exposure on the relative risk in a hypothetical cohort...
متن کاملTabu search for DNA sequencing with false negatives and false positives
The paper deals with the problem of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequencing by hybridization. A computational phase of this approach, i.e. a construction of a DNA sequence from oligonucleotides, is NP-hard in the strong sense in case of errors. Thus, since the last problem does not admit a polynomial time solution, a need arises to construct ef®cient heuristics solving the problem. In the paper,...
