They conduct daily household surveys in their neighborhoods, hunt for patients like Mr. Sheikh who have been coughing for more than three weeks — a standard measure of detecting potential patients — coax them to get tested and, most important, administer a long and rigorous treatment.
For example, SNR measures the discriminative power of a test, sensitivity measures probability of detecting UC, while specificity measures the probability of detecting healthy subjects.
The effectiveness of screening measures for detecting SARS cases at border points of entry was limited by 2 factors.
Understanding the relationships between LED test and clinical outcome measures can provide insight into the sensitivity of these measures for detecting sensorimotor deficits.
This definition of metastasis may change over time with the advent of more sensitive measures for detecting metastatic disease.
Domain V: Is the main outcome measure capable of detecting change?
Domain V (Sensitivity): Is the main outcome measure capable of detecting change?
It is important to have a measure capable of detecting small but highly relevant and important changes in HRQL, especially when the HRQL outcome of interest represents the primary outcome or main secondary outcome of the trial.
The method proposed is robust against noise, poor lighting and poor contrast, requires no prior knowledge of the extent of the chess-board pattern, is computationally very efficient, and provides a strength measure of detected features.
The bigger the value of the threshold is, the bigger the overlaps among complex cores are obtained and the higher the F-measure of detected complexes is achieved in the threshold range between 0 and 0.1 [ 19].
Monitoring and behavior assessment are not trivial issues, and require the design of problem-specific measures for detecting attacks modes.
