The definition above is the optimal list (see Data S1, Section 1) when the optimization is for the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver-operator curve (ROC).
Using a different metric would suggest using a different optimal list.
Maximizing AUC provides a particularly intuitive form for the multifunctionality scores (number of functions weighted by involvement) as well as simple analytic calculation of the optimal list, but the same principle can be applied to other metrics.
These lists were used to create an aggregate order, with the aim of obtaining an optimal list of genes for each Petunia line.
Other research shows that there might be an optimal list size (i.e. panel size) of patients per general practitioner for providing efficient and high quality care[ 7].
A dashboard requires the creation of an optimal list of metrics from a large pool of potential indicators in a way that makes sense to those delivering services, as well as to strategic management and wider stakeholders.
Using the A* algorithm, a search tree is constructed that increases the number of compatible pairs on partial pair lists until an optimal pair list is reached under certain criteria for the allowed bending.
Merely listing an optimal frequency within Insights would help, but allowing an easy way to cap frequency at that number would be better.
Many providers also use the problem list in billing, though some providers felt that this use did not always lead to clinically optimal problem lists, "I think others are padding the problem list for billing purposes" (infectious disease).
Their optimal values are listed in Table 1.
