Binary Regression With a Misclassified Response Variable in Diabetes Data
Objectives: The categorical data analysis is very important in statistics and medical sciences. When the binary response variable is misclassified, the results of fitting the model will be biased in estimating adjusted odds ratios. The present study aimed to use a method to detect and correct misclassification error in the response variable of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), applying binary ...
متن کاملIs more always better
Is more always better? We address this question in the context of bibliometric indices that aim to assess the scientific impact of individual researchers by counting their number of highly cited publications. We propose a simple model in which the number of citations of a publication depends not only on the scientific impact of the publication but also on other ‘random’ factors. Our model indic...
متن کاملMore is not Always Better: The Relation between Item Response and Item Response Time in Raven’s Matrices
The role of response time in completing an item can have very different interpretations. Responding more slowly could be positively related to success as the item is answered more carefully. However, the association may be negative if working faster indicates higher ability. The objective of this study was to clarify the validity of each assumption for reasoning items considering the mode of pr...
متن کاملDeriving biased classifiers for better ROC performance
ROC analysis makes it possible to evaluate how well classiiers will perform given certain misclas-siication costs and class distributions. Given a set of classiiers, it also provides a method for constructing a hybrid classiier that optimally uses the available classiiers. Now in some cases it is possible to derive multiple classiiers from a single one, in a cheap way, and such that these class...
متن کاملTotal Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height
Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...
