Putting risk prediction in perspective: relative utility curves.
Risk prediction models based on medical history or results of tests are increasingly common in the cancer literature. An important use of these models is to make treatment decisions on the basis of estimated risk. The relative utility curve is a simple method for evaluating risk prediction in a medical decision-making framework. Relative utility curves have three attractive features for the eva...
متن کاملStable Modification of Relative Curves
We generalize theorems of Deligne-Mumford and de Jong on semistable modifications of families of proper curves. The main result states that after a generically étale alteration of the base any (not necessarily proper) family of multipointed curves with semi-stable generic fiber admits a minimal semi-stable modification. The latter can also be characterized by the property that its geometric fib...
متن کاملOn Risk Preferences and Curvilinear Utility Curves
Kuznar’s (CA 42:432–40) proposed relationship between social status (wealth), risk preference, and utility bears further scrutiny. The author proposes “that there will be a general curvilinear relationship between wealth and risk sensitivity in which the poor and the wealthy will prefer risky prospects whereas those with more moderate wealth will be risk-averse” (p. 437). He attempts to clarify...
متن کاملEnriched Relative Polar Curves and Discriminants
Let (f, g) be a pair of complex analytic functions on a singular analytic space X. We give “the correct” definition of the relative polar curve of (f, g), and we give a very formal generalization of Lê’s attaching result, which relates the relative polar curve to the relative cohomology of the Milnor fiber modulo a hyperplane slice. We also give the technical arguments which allow one to work w...
متن کاملAn Efficient Method for Determining Capillary Pressure and Relative Permeability Curves from Spontaneous Imbibition Data
In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...
