Boosting the Area under the ROC Curve
We show that any weak ranker that can achieve an area under the ROC curve slightly better than 1/2 (which can be achieved by random guessing) can be efficiently boosted to achieve an area under the ROC curve arbitrarily close to 1. We further show that this boosting can be performed even in the presence of independent misclassification noise, given access to a noise-tolerant weak ranker.

متن کاملWhy testing improves memory: mediator effectiveness hypothesis.
A wealth of research has established that practice tests improve memory for the tested material. Although the benefits of practice tests are well documented, the mechanisms underlying testing effects are not well understood. We propose the mediator effectiveness hypothesis, which states that more-effective mediators (that is, information linking cues to targets) are generated during practice in...
متن کاملTesting the Dinosaur Hypothesis under Empirical Datasets
In this paper we present the Dinosaur Hypothesis, which states that the behaviour of a market never settles down and that the population of predictors continually co-evolves with this market. To the best of our knowledge, this observation has only been made and tested under artificial datasets, but not with real data. In this work, we attempt to formalize this hypothesis by presenting its main ...
متن کاملTesting the null hypothesis in small area analysis.
The goal of small area analysis is often to demonstrate that hospital admission rates or procedure rates vary greatly among regions, suggesting the occurrence of unnecessary admissions or procedures in some regions. Recent articles have shown that such variation may be largely due to chance, even if no underlying differences exist among the small areas; thus, it is important to test if the obse...
