In a simpler interpretation, Cost Curve plots represent the cost probability, equivalent [19] to the percentage of positive instances in the data set to which the classifier is applied, versus the normalized expected cost, equivalent to the ratio of the mistakes both in terms of false positives as well as false negatives.
Standardization and validation of the test procedure and the data interpretation, cost reduction and getting to know the pitfalls of this method are the challenges of the future.
LTP, co-investigator of cost analysis study of BTB model, assisted in cost analyses, interpretation of cost data and write up cost description and provided a critical review and editing of manuscript.
WBV, research health scientist, assisted in cost analyses, interpretation of cost data and wrote cost description and provided a critical review and editing of manuscript.
This is called "symmetric" and "complete" interpretation and costs a bomb: a meeting at which all the EU's 23 official languages had to be simultaneously interpreted into all the EU's 23 official languages needed 96 interpreters.
For ease of interpretation, the costs and caries outcomes are presented per 100 children.
Furthermore MRSI sequences require a long image acquisition time and require trained radiologists for proper shimming and data interpretation, adding costs to the MP-MRI studies.
The definition is explicit about the tradeoff between action and inaction, and it widens the conventionally narrow, and usually quantifiable, interpretation of costs and benefits to embrace the wider and sometimes unquantifiable pros and cons.
Thus, it has the potential even for observational studies with patient-level effect and cost data, for the better presentation and interpretation of cost-effectiveness results and better evidence based decision making.
