By virtue of multiparametric perturbation techniques, sensitivity analyses are performed to achieve an analytical asymptotic approximation of the dispersion functions.
Though requiring no previous assumptions about the detailed shape of the cortex or other brain structures, the method performed comparably (sensitivity = 0.91) to direct cortical thickness estimation techniques (sensitivity = 0.93) at separating populations in a data set designed specifically to test the cortical thickness estimation algorithms.
Search terms included "tuberculosis, mycobacterium tuberculosis, nucleic acid amplification techniques, direct amplification test, polymerase chain reaction, ligase chain reaction, Amplicor, Cobas, Roche, Gen-Probe, Abbott, BD-ProbeTec, molecular diagnostic techniques, sensitivity and specificity, accuracy, and predictive value".
By modifying these two inputs the analyst can tune Messina to identify genes with particular profiles of expression across the spectrum from highly consistent differences (sensitivity and specificity both high), to genes detected by current outlier techniques (sensitivity low, specificity high).
For compatibility with the machine learning techniques, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and PA of single features for the validation data were calculated with a threshold in which sensitivity equaled to specificity for the training data.
It could be argued that given the influence of co-product handling techniques, sensitivity analysis should be a standard element of biofuel LCAs and several studies do take this approach [e.g., 11– 13].
In experienced and dedicated hands, high frequency US is a highly sensitive technique (sensitivity of 89% and PPV 98%); especially in patients without thyroid nodules [ 17].
While Artz et al. reported FISH to be a highly sensitive technique (sensitivity of 98.3%) for the detection of S. agalactiae directly in specimens [ 7], Strus and colleagues could not confirm this sensitivity [ 11].
Digestive hemorrhage of unknown origin is the main indication of the technique (sensitivity 89%, specificity 95%).
Some of the largest U.S. companies were quick to adopt this new philosophy of "the human use of human beings". In the early 1960s, for instance, Standard Oil sent every manager from its Baton Rouge refinery to two full weeks of off-site immersion in that radical new technique, sensitivity training.
We have shown that using our proposed technique, sensitivity can be estimated for optimal sizing of sensing layer surface.
