Isolating modeling effects in offender risk assessment
Objectives Recent evolutions in actuarial research have revealed the potential increased utility of machine learning and data-mining strategies to develop statistical models such as classification/decision-tree analysis and neural networks, which are said to mimic the decision-making of practitioners. The current article compares such actuarial modeling methods with a traditional logistic regre...
متن کاملInterrater reliability of the Technology Team Assessment Process.
OBJECTIVE This study examined the interrater reliability of the Technology Team Assessment Process (TTAP). METHOD Students ages 9 to 12 years who have learning disabilities received a TTAP assessment, which was videotaped. Five independent raters trained in the assessment process observed the videotapes and rated each student with the TTAP recording forms. Additionally, each rater made specif...
متن کاملInterrater reliability: the kappa statistic
The kappa statistic is frequently used to test interrater reliability. The importance of rater reliability lies in the fact that it represents the extent to which the data collected in the study are correct representations of the variables measured. Measurement of the extent to which data collectors (raters) assign the same score to the same variable is called interrater reliability. While ther...
متن کاملRisk Assessment 1 Running Head: PREDICTION ISSUES IN SEX OFFENDER RISK ASSESSMENT Prediction Issues and the Role of Incremental Validity in Sex Offender Risk Assessment
We review issues of prediction and discuss their relevance to the prediction of sexual offender recidivism. First, we briefly discuss the different types of sex offenses, rates of these offenses, and rates of recidivism among sex offenders. We then discuss key issues in the field of prediction, with special attention given to the relative advantages and disadvantages of clinical and statistical...
متن کاملInterrater reliability in myofascial trigger point examination.
The myofascial trigger point (MTrP) is the hallmark physical finding of the myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The MTrP itself is characterized by distinctive physical features that include a tender point in a taut band of muscle, a local twitch response (LTR) to mechanical stimulation, a pain referral pattern characteristic of trigger points of specific areas in each muscle, and the reproduction ...
