  2. Scoring rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoring_rule

    The average logarithmic score of 10 points i.i.d. sampled from a standard normal distribution (blue histogram), evaluated on a variety of distributions (red line). Although not necessarily true for individual samples, on average, a proper scoring rule will give the lowest score if the predicted distribution matches the data distribution.

  3. Quality-adjusted life year - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality-adjusted_life_year

    This was found to be discriminatory, and in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1992. [10] Louis W. Sullivan , the Secretary of Health and Human Services at the time, criticized the plan by stating that "Oregon's plan in substantial part values the life of a person with a disability less than the life of a person without a ...

  4. Expected value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

    The book extended the concept of expectation by adding rules for how to calculate expectations in more complicated situations than the original problem (e.g., for three or more players), and can be seen as the first successful attempt at laying down the foundations of the theory of probability. In the foreword to his treatise, Huygens wrote:

  5. Academic grading in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_the...

    In a percentage-based system, each assignment regardless of size, type, or complexity is given a percentage score: four correct answers out of five is a score of 80%. The overall grade for the class is then typically weighted so that the final grade represents a stated proportion of different types of work.

  6. Early warning score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_warning_score

    A score of five or more is statistically linked to increased likelihood of death or admission to an intensive care unit. [2]Within hospitals, the EWS is used as part of a "track-and-trigger" system whereby an increasing score produces an escalated response varying from increasing the frequency of patient's observations (for a low score) up to urgent review by a rapid response or Medical ...

  7. Likelihood function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Likelihood_function

    In addition to the mathematical convenience from this, the adding process of log-likelihood has an intuitive interpretation, as often expressed as "support" from the data. When the parameters are estimated using the log-likelihood for the maximum likelihood estimation, each data point is used by being added to the total log-likelihood.

  8. Wells score (pulmonary embolism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_score_(pulmonary...

    This version was published as a score, and according to the final score, patients could be categorized in either 3 groups (low / intermediate / high risk) or 2 groups (low / high risk) Subsequent testing choices included D-dimer testing for low risk cases, and V/Q scanning, pulmonary angiography, and compression ultrasonography for intermediate ...

  9. Bayesian probability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_probability

    Bayesian probability (/ ˈ b eɪ z i ə n / BAY-zee-ən or / ˈ b eɪ ʒ ən / BAY-zhən) [1] is an interpretation of the concept of probability, in which, instead of frequency or propensity of some phenomenon, probability is interpreted as reasonable expectation [2] representing a state of knowledge [3] or as quantification of a personal belief.
