Taxonomy based performance metrics for evaluating taxonomic assignment methods

Performance-Based Metrics for Evaluating Submarine Command Team Decision-Making

Successful submarine operations—those that accomplish the mission while maintaining security and safety—depend on numerous factors, including the capabilities of various sensor systems, the reliability of algorithms, and the proficiency of the crew. Among the most critical elements is Command Team decision-making and the underlying processes that create a cohesive and effective team. As a team,...

Toward a taxonomy of performance metrics

Robust metrics for assessing the performance of different verbal autopsy cause assignment methods in validation studies

BACKGROUND Verbal autopsy (VA) is an important method for obtaining cause of death information in settings without vital registration and medical certification of causes of death. An array of methods, including physician review and computer-automated methods, have been proposed and used. Choosing the best method for VA requires the appropriate metrics for assessing performance. Currently used m...

Identify criteria and metrics for evaluating VAT policy

Because VAT is collected from different stages of production and can cover all goods and services, it has a broad tax base and generates a lot of revenue for the government. In fact, the VAT system is a kind of tax restructuring that is mostly to increase revenues and equip financial resources to finance government expenditures. The introduction of value added tax in recent years has been one o...

A Metrics Taxonomy and Reporting Strategy for Rule-Based Alerts.

An action-oriented alerts taxonomy according to structure, actions, and implicit intended process outcomes using a set of 333 rule-based alerts at Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW) was developed. The authors identified 9 major and 17 overall classes of alerts and developed a specific metric approach for 5 of these classes, including the 3 most numerous ones in KPNW, accounting for 224 (67%) of...
