By using an appropriate characteristic length in a nonlocal continuum formulation, strain energies, in the neighborhood of a dominant macroscopic singularity, are calculated that agree well with characteristic network models and hence produce fairly good agreements between the networks and the nonlocal continuum models.
However, by using a combination of characteristic fragmentation pattern of IPC's and stringent data processing, we could focus specifically on IPC molecular ions.
The same three intraoperative variables were tested for predictivity of HL by using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
The cut-off levels of serum GMI for predicting mortality at each time point during antifungal therapy were determined by using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Baseline anti-CCP titer was also evaluated as a continuous variable for prediction of erosions and a Larsen score > 15 by 5 years by using a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve method.
To assess the goodness-of-fit of the final model, we plotted sensitivity and specificity by using a receiver operating characteristic curve and estimated the area under the curve (c-statistic).
Discrimination, that is, the ability of the tool to discriminate between patients who did (+ve case) or did not (−ve case) develop chronic LBP, will be determined by using a Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve analysis, by calculating discrimination slope (box plots) and by examining risk-stratified likelihood ratios.
In our study, we set the cutoff value for PIVKA-II levels at 300 mAU/mL and AFP level at 400 which was determined by the lowest value of ([1 - sensitivity]2 + [1 - specificity]) as 349 mAU/mL and 420 ng/mL, respectively, by using a receiver operating characteristic curve of extrahepatic metastasis at 12 months after curative treatment.
EBAM avoids possible high input loads on router buffers at the early mapping stage by using a priori traffic characteristics of the application.
The sensitivity and specificity of the model were assessed by examining the agreement between predicted and observed epidemic experience by using a receiver-operator characteristics (ROC) curve to select the optimal probability cutoff values on which predictions are based (10 ).
