Simulating total error while excluding results underestimates total error.
Karon et al. (1 ) modeled the effects of glucose meter error on insulin dosing errors. They refer to an earlier model that I had pointed out was incomplete (2 ). Although Boyd and Bruns (3 ) agreed with my assessment, the current simulation is, once again, incomplete and the same as the previous simulation. We have reviewed the statistics for glucose meter performance (4 ) and noted that Lawton...
متن کاملTotal variation error bounds for geometric approximation
We develop a new formulation of Stein’s method to obtain computable upper bounds on the total variation distance between the geometric distribution and a distribution of interest. Our framework reduces the problem to the construction of a coupling between the original distribution and the “discrete equilibrium” distribution from renewal theory. We illustrate the approach in four nontrivial exam...
متن کاملTotal Survey Error: Design, Implementation, and Evaluation
The total survey error (TSE) paradigm provides a theoretical framework for optimizing surveys by maximizing data quality within budgetary constraints. In this article, the TSE paradigm is viewed as part of a much larger design strategy that seeks to optimize surveys by maximizing total survey quality; i.e., quality more broadly defined to include user-specified dimensions of quality. Survey met...
متن کاملEvaluation of the total analytical error in the flame photometry method
Background and Objectives: For total analytical error, imprecision (SD) and bias, performance goals for laboratory tests have most often been developed. A total analytical error goal requires that the combination of errors from all sources (random and systematic errors) be within some acceptable limit. M...
متن کاملProvider error prevention: online total parenteral nutrition calculator
OBJECTIVE 1. To reduce errors in the ordering of total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH). 2. To develop a pragmatic low-cost medical information system to achieve this goal. METHODS We designed an online total parenteral nutrition order entry system (TPNCalculator) using Internet technologies. Total development time was th...
