Novel metrics for evaluating improvement in discrimination: net reclassification and integrated discrimination improvement for normal variables and nested models

Comparison of Bayesian and Frequentist Methods in Estimating the Net Reclassification and Integrated Discrimination Improvement Indices for Evaluation of Prediction Models: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study

Introduction: The Frequency-based method is commonly used to estimate the Net Reclassification Improvement (NRI)- and Integrated Discrimination Improvement (IDI) indices. These indices measure the magnitude of the performance of statistical models when a new biomarker is added. This method has poor performance in some cases, especially in small samples. In this study, the performance of two Bay...

Bayesian Optimum Design Criterion for Multi Models Discrimination

The problem of obtaining the optimum design, which is able to discriminate between several rival models has been considered in this paper. We give an optimality-criterion, using a Bayesian approach. This is an extension of the Bayesian KL-optimality to more than two models. A modification is made to deal with nested models. The proposed Bayesian optimality criterion is a weighted average, where...
