Accurately Measuring Inspection Time with Computers

Accurately Measuring Health over the Life Course

This paper develops a new method of estimating rich, dynamic models of health based on multiple health measures available in the HRS. We apply these methods to investigate what generates the large socioeconomic gradient in health. Preliminary results suggest a large role for initial differences in health at age 50 that persist into old age.

Importance of accurately measuring spatial abilities.

Tuberculosis deaths: are we measuring accurately?

Death among tuberculosis patients is one of the major reasons for non-attainment of 85% treatment success target set by World Health Organization. In this short paper, we evaluated whether the overall mortality rate in pulmonary tuberculosis is being affected by other comorbid conditions. All new smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients (N =336), who started their treatment at the chest c...

Intelligence , Inspection Time , Decision Time

Relationships between Multidimensional Aptitude Battery (MAB) scores, inspection time (IT), choice reaction time (CRT), and the odd-man procedure (OMO) were investigated. IT was measured using a curve-fitting procedure that was less susceptible to variable task performance. IQ correlated significantly with IT (r = -.624) and OMO decision time (DT; r = .365) as well as with CRT DT (r = -.28). IT...

Accurately measuring overhead, communication time and progression of blocking and nonblocking collective operations at massive scale

Accurate, reproducible and comparable measurement of the overheads, communication times and progression behavior of blocking and nonblocking collective operations is a complicated task. Although Different measurement schemes for blocking collective operations are implemented in well-known benchmarks, many of these schemes introduce different systematic errors in their measurements. We character...
