SOME TEST THEORY FOR TAILORED TESTING*

Tailored Patient Information: Some Issues and Questions

Tailored patient information (TPI) systems are computer programs which produce persoualised heath-information material for patients. TPI systems are of growing interest to the natural-language generation (NLG) community; many TPI systems have also been developed in the medical community, usually with mail-merge technology. No matter what technology is used, experience shows that it is not easy ...

The role of surprise in theory testing: Some preliminary observations*

While the most common way of evaluating a computational model is by showing a good fit with the empirical data, recently the literature on theory testing and model selection criticizes the assumption that this is actually strong evidence for a model. This paper explores the possibilities of developing a method selection technique that can serve as an alternative to a goodness-of-fit (GOF) measu...

Towards tailored assays for cell-based approaches to toxicity testing.

The call for a new toxicology is mainly a call for cellular approaches and their computational integration. This article reflects on cell models, which are necessary to facilitate the transition. A mechanistic perspective has prompted the characterization of toxicity pathways and toxicity networks in order to develop robust cell-based assays for toxicity testing. Differing use scenarios for cel...
