An Extended Procedure for Implementing the Relative Operating Characteristic Graphical Method

Evaluation of an optimal receiver operating characteristic procedure

UNLABELLED : Lu and Elston have recently proposed a procedure for developing optimal receiver operating characteristic curves that maximize the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve in the setting of a predictive genetic test. The method requires only summary data, not individual level genetic data. In an era of increased data sharing, we investigate the performance of this algor...

Standard Setting: the application of the Receiver Operating Characteristic method

Medical teachers must not only continue to accommodate and assimilate constant changes in medical knowledge, they must also assimilate new approaches to assess both students’ declarative knowledge and procedural skills. Medical schools, postgraduate training programs and licensing bodies (e.g. the General Medical Council) must provide and oversee valid and reliable assessments for students’ com...

APG: An Efficient Software Program for Amp-Pl Thermobarometry Based on Graphical Method

Geothermobarometry equations are based on thermodynamic principles and appear in single or multi-variant functions. The number of variants for a specific composition or reaction usually is reduced into 2 involving temperature (T) and pressure (P). Since most of planned equations have two passive or variant P and T, using these equations should be with special care. It is very effective to use g...

Implementing the eODL Graphical Representation

eODL is the ITU component description language. Its current status is that it is defined textually and there are several transformation into other languages. There are also ideas about a graphical representation for eODL. In this article we present a graphical representation for some of the eODL language elements and discuss how such a graphical representation can be implemented using a high-le...
