One statistical test is sufficient for assessing new predictive markers
BACKGROUND We have observed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) is increasingly being used to evaluate whether a novel predictor should be incorporated in a multivariable model to predict risk of disease. Frequently, investigators will approach the issue in two distinct stages: first, by testing whether the new predictor variable is significant in a multivariab...
متن کاملRNAi – Is one suffix sufficient?
RNA-directed translational gene silencing in many organisms appears to represent a later evolved function for this versatile molecule, and the observation that protein domains similar to those of RISC complex components in Tetrahymena, fission yeast, fungi and archaeal bacteria suggests that RNA interference as it is currently understood may have developed as a functional entity in the last com...
متن کاملPredictive validity of an Implicit Association Test for assessing anxiety.
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was adapted to measure anxiety by assessing associations of self (vs. other) with anxiety-related (vs. calmness-related) words. Study 1 showed that the IAT-Anxiety exhibited good internal consistency and adequate stability. Study 2 revealed that the IAT-Anxiety was unaffected by a faking instruction. Study 3 examined the predictive validity of implicit and ex...
متن کاملAssessing Bodily Preoccupations is sufficient: clinically effective screening for hypochondriasis.
OBJECTIVE Hypochondriasis is a persistent psychiatric disorder and is associated with increased utilisation of health care services. However, effective psychiatric consultation interventions and CBT treatments are available. In the present study, we provide evidence of clinically effective screening for hypochondriasis. We describe the clinically effective identification of patients with a high...
متن کاملPredictive Ability of Statistical Genomic Prediction Methods When Underlying Genetic Architecture of Trait Is Purely Additive
A simulation study was conducted to address the issue of how purely additive (simple) genetic architecture might impact on the efficacy of parametric and non-parametric genomic prediction methods. For this purpose, we simulated a trait with narrow sense heritability h2= 0.3, with only additive genetic effects for 300 loci in order to compare the predictive ability of 14 more practically used ge...
