Retrospective testing of predictive models does not consider the real-world context in which are deployed. Prospective validation, on other hand, enables meaningful comparisons between data generation processes by incorporating trained and considering subjective decisions that affect reproducibility. experiments essential for consistent progress modeling.

When monkeys are given control of the illumination in a testing chamber, it has been found, under three conditions, that they spend less time with red light than with blue. But the results cannot easily be explained in terms of 'preference'. Rather, the results suggest that monkeys judge 'subjective time' to pass nearly twice as fast in red light as in blue.

This article motivates and discusses José Bernardo’s attempt to reconcile the subjective Bayesian framework with a need for objective scientific inference, leading to a special kind of objective Bayesianism, namely reference Bayesianism. We elucidate principal ideas and foundational implications of Bernardo’s approach, with particular attention to the classical problem of testing a precise null...

BACKGROUND The impact of high-fidelity simulators as an adjunct for endovascular training of general surgery residents has not yet been defined. The purpose of this study was to evaluate general surgery resident perspectives on the value of a simulator-based endovascular training program by using various measurement tools. METHODS General surgery residents in postgraduate years 1 to 5 (n = 50...

One of the main reasons of image quality evaluation is introduction and employment of the image compression methods and them corresponding formats. The first approach to the image quality evaluation is subjective quality testing (e.g. DSIS Double Stimulus Impairment Scale, DSCQS Double Stimulus Continuous Quality Scale, SCM Stimulus Comparison Method, SSM Single Stimulus Method, SSCQM – Single ...

OBJECTIVE To determine associations between objective assessments (swallowing function and weight change) and subjective quality-of-life (QOL) measures. DESIGN Observational case series using clinical testing and questionnaires. SETTING University hospital-based tertiary clinical practice. PATIENTS Convenience sample of 5-year survivors of head and neck cancer (62 nonlaryngectomy survivor...

introduction:although several treatment approaches have been proposed for tinnitus, there are currently no food and drug administration (fda)-approved agents available to treat this condition. in this study, we evaluated the effect of gabapentin on the sensation of subjective tinnitus in patients with acoustic trauma referring to the ear, nose and throat (ent) clinic of taleghani hospital durin...

purpose: to study the validity and reliability of subjective refraction, predicted phoropter refraction (ppr) measured by zywave aberrometer, and final surgical plan applied for laser vision correction. methods: this prospective study was conducted on 94 myopic or myopic astigmatic eyes (48 patients) who were candidates for refractive surgery in negah eye hospital from april 2012 to july 2012. ...
