How to measure metacognition
The ability to recognize one's own successful cognitive processing, in e.g., perceptual or memory tasks, is often referred to as metacognition. How should we quantitatively measure such ability? Here we focus on a class of measures that assess the correspondence between trial-by-trial accuracy and one's own confidence. In general, for healthy subjects endowed with metacognitive sensitivity, whe...
متن کاملHow to measure efficiency
The measurement of the efficiency of some selection or process is always an important part of the analysis of experimental data. The statistical techniques needed to determine the efficiency and its uncertainty are reviewed, based on the use of the Bayes’ theorem. Uniform and non-uniform priors are considered in two real-life examples. The use of the uncertainties in practical cases is also con...
متن کاملHow to measure blood glucose
The level of glucose in the blood can be measured by applying a drop of blood to a chemically treated, disposable ‘test-strip’, which is then inserted into an electronic blood glucose meter. The reaction between the test strip and the blood is detected by the meter and displayed in units of mg/dL or mmol/L. There are a number of different types of meters available, and all are slightly differen...

Even though we found that thrombocytosis was associated with poor outcomes, Georges and colleagues did not fi nd this association in their population of CAP patients. The authors indicated that our fi nding of an association between elevated platelet count and poor outcomes “could be explained by the moderate severity of CAP” in the patients in our series, with only 17% of these patients requir...
متن کاملHow to Measure Spectrum Efficiency
n the ’70s fixed-to-fixed microwave links were developed and deployed. Wireless local loop (WLL) systems could also have been implemented in the ’70s in U.S. rural areas, but were not. The cost justifications at that time for WLL were: For the Near Term — Using the radio link for WLL was the solution because the cost of laying a long wire cable to connect to a remote point was very high. For th...
