As re-smelling is not permitted, an un-intended STM load may generate, even though the task purports to assess discrimination ability.
Two methods of assessing discrimination ability were adopted.
Nomograms were validated externally by assessing discrimination and calibration using an independent data set (N=122).
We assessed discrimination using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.
The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess discrimination; an area under the ROC curve of 1.0 denotes perfect discrimination, whereas a value close to 0.50 indicates no apparent accuracy.
PARTICIPANTS: A randomly selected community sample of 181 blacks, 148 Latinos, and 193 whites in Durham County, NC. MEASUREMENTS: A phone survey conducted in 2002 to assess discrimination, trust in medical care, quality of care, and access to care.
Score performance was judged by assessing discrimination and calibration and using the area under receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve and by the Hosmer Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, respectively.
The most significant difference between the pact--approved Monday by U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan--and the initial agreement is that it requires the FBI for the first time to bring in an outside mediator to assess discrimination complaints.
