Diagnosing alcoholism in high-risk drinking drivers: comparing different diagnostic procedures with estimated prevalence of hazardous alcohol use.
In several European countries, drivers under influence (DUI), suspected of an alcohol use disorder (AUD, 'alcoholism') are referred for diagnostic examination. The accuracy of diagnostic procedures used in diagnosing AUD in the DUI population is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare three prevalence estimates of AUD based on a structured clinical interview (SCID), a restrictive diagnost...
متن کاملUnbiased gradient estimation in queueing networks with parameter-dependent routing
A stochastic queueing network model with parameter-dependent service times and routing mechanism, and its related performance measures are considered. An estimate of performance measure gradient is proposed, and rather general sufficient conditions for the estimate to be unbiased are given. A gradient estimation algorithm is also presented, and its validity is briefly discussed. Key-Words: queu...
متن کاملA Novel Risk-Estimation-Theoretic Framework for Speech Enhancement in Nonstationary and Non-Gaussian Noise Conditions
We address the problem of suppressing background noise from noisy speech within a risk estimation framework, where the clean signal is estimated from the noisy observations by minimizing an unbiased estimate of a chosen risk function. For Gaussian noise, such a risk estimate was derived by Stein, which eventually went on to be called Stein’s unbiased risk estimate (SURE). Stein’s formalism is r...
متن کاملJackknife and Bootstrap Resampling Methods in Statistical Analysis to Correct for Bias
This result is obvious but also useful because it tells us that the sample mean is an unbiased estimate for the exact mean, in the sense that the average of the sample mean, over many repetitions, is the exact mean. An unbiased estimate will become more and more accurate as the number of data points is increased. However, a biased estimate not continue to improve with increasing N once the erro...
متن کاملWhy not routinely use best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) as estimates of cholesterol, per cent fat from kcal and physical activity?
Measures of biologic and behavioural variables on a patient often estimate longer term latent values, with the two connected by a simple response error model. For example, a subject's measured total cholesterol is an estimate (equal to the best linear unbiased estimate (BLUE)) of a subject's latent total cholesterol. With known (or estimated) variances, an alternative estimate is the best linea...
