False alarm? Estimating the marginal value of health signals

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract We investigate the marginal value of information in context health signals that people receive after checkups. Although underlying status is similar for individuals just below and above a clinical threshold, treatments differ according to checkup they receive. For general population, whereas warnings about diabetes increase healthcare utilization, outcomes do not improve. However, among high-risk individuals, improve, improved worth its cost. These results indicate depends on setting appropriate thresholds targeting most likely benefit from follow-up medical care.

False Alarm Constrained Classification

In classification problems, the goal is often to maximize the probability of a true positive while satisfying a system design constraint on the number of false alarms. Current classifiers, which are based on minimizing classification error, achieve this goal indirectly by either shifting the bias of the resulting solution or via tuning of an asymmetry parameter. While these approaches may be us...

Economic value of water in the manufacturing industry of Yazd Province: Value of marginal product approach

The optimal allocation of water is importance because Yazd province has very limited access to water resources. The optimal allocation requires that the water price be approximately equal to its economic value. Accordingly, the present paper calculated the economic value of water consumed by manufacturing industries in Yazd province. The Cobb-Douglas, transcendental, translog, generalized quadr...

Modelling the false alarm and missed

Theoretical modeling of watermarks allow prediction of the detector reliability and facilitates the development of more reliable systems. In particular, mathematical evaluation is relevant to estimate the rate at which \false alarms" occur. In this paper, the probability of incorrect detection (missed detection or false alarm) is expressed in terms of the watermark-energy-to-image-luminance-var...

False Alarm Reduction of Ground Penetrating Radar

In this work, we present a methodology for fusing high frequency and low frequency radar images. The goal of this system is to nd the strong surface clutter which is common to high and low frequency radar images and to subtract (defuse) this common component from the low frequency image to extract sub-surface information.
