The paper proposes new second-order accuracy metrics for scoring/rating models, which show the target preference of model - it is better to diagnose "good" objects or "bad" ones a constant generally accepted predictive power determined by first-order metric Gini index. Two proposed, they have both an integral representation and numerical one. two types, first based on binary events evaluate mod...

We consider the estimation of credit scores by means of semiparametric logit models. In credit scoring, the fitted rating score shall not only provide an optimal classification result but serves also as a modular component of a (typically quite complex) rating system. This means in particular that a rating score should be given by a linearly weighted sum of rating factors. That way the rating p...

BACKGROUND/AIMS An item response theory (IRT)-based scoring approach to the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR) can account for the pattern of scores across the CDR items (domains) and their differential abilities to indicate dementia severity. In doing so, an IRT-based approach can provide greater precision than other CDR scoring algorithms. However, neither a good set of item parameters nor ...

A two-stage process by which an holistic rubric is applied to the assessment of open-ended items, such as writing samples, is defined. The first stage involves scoring a performance by the assignment of an integer rating that is congruent with the proficiency level that is exhibited in the performance. The second stage is the subsequent assignment by the rater of an augmentation that indicates ...

OBJECTIVES To develop a photographic sun damage assessment scale for forearm skin and test its feasibility and utility for consistent classification of sun damage. DESIGN For a blinded comparison, 96 standardized 8 × 10 digital photographs of participants' forearms were taken. Photographs were graded by an expert dermatologist using an existing 9-category dermatologic assessment scoring scale...

The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure (ROCF) is probably one of the most popular measurement instruments of visuoconstructional abilities and nonverbal memory. It is frequently part of neuropsychological test protocols in epilepsy surgery centers. In this study we compared the traditional scoring system of the ROCF developed by Taylor (1998) with a qualitative system that assesses spatial-relationa...

IBS (using several scoring systems to monitor IBS), and could lead to a decrease in endotoxin levels in patients with IBS (by measuring the endotoxin level before and after administration). This study was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to analyze the efficacy of bovine colostrum. Patients with IBS (aged, 18−80 years) were voluntarily recruited. They were selec...

few, if any, studies have investigated the effect of professional experience as a rater variable and type of assessment as a task variable on raters’ criteria in the assessment of speech acts. this study aimed to explore the impact of nonnative teachers’ professional experience on the use of criteria in monologic and dialogic assessment of 12 role-plays of 3 apology speech acts. to this end, 60...

A single-step maximum likelihood estimation procedure is developed for multidimensional scaling of dissimilarity data measured on rating scales. The procedure can fit the euclidian distance model to the data under various assumptions about category widths and under two distributional assumptions. The scoring algorithm for parameter estimation has been developed and implemented in the form of a ...
