Exact MAP Estimates by (Hyper)tree Agreement
We describe a method for computing provably exact maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates for a subclass of problems on graphs with cycles. The basic idea is to represent the original problem on the graph with cycles as a convex combination of tree-structured problems. A convexity argument then guarantees that the optimal value of the original problem (i.e., the log probability of the MAP assignme...
متن کاملStatistician expert witnesses in agreement on relative hazards
'If anticoagulants had been administered sooner, my client would not have died' was a central claim put to us, as statistician expert witnesses, by a Claimant's and Defendant's lawyers. To assist other litigants, and without identifying the specific case, we set out the study types that contribute to the evidence base, and their limitations. We then explain why it is difficult to adduce evidenc...
متن کاملCombining Multiple Image Segmentations by Maximizing Expert Agreement
A common characteristic of collecting the ground truth for medical images is that multiple experts provide only partially coherent manual segmentations, and in some cases, with varying confidence. As the result, there is considerable spatial variation between the expert segmentations, and for training and testing, the “true” ground truth is estimated by disambiguating (combining) the provided s...
متن کاملExpert agreement in Current Procedural Terminology evaluation and management coding.
BACKGROUND Available data suggest that physicians are accurate in approximately 55% of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) evaluation and management (E/M) coding for their services. This accuracy is relative to observers' or auditors' assigned codes for these services, a group that has not been studied for their consistency in application of the CPT E/M coding guidelines. The purpose of this s...
متن کاملHow to Describe Measurement Uncertainty and Uncertainty of Expert Estimates?
Measurement and expert estimates are never absolutely accurate. Thus, when we know the result M(u) of measurement or expert estimate, the actual value A(u) of the corresponding quantity may be somewhat different from M(u). In practical applications, it is desirable to know how different it can be, i.e., what are the bounds f(M(u)) ≤ A(u) ≤ g(M(u)). Ideally, we would like to know the tightest bo...
