Nueral Networks

Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy True Positive Fraction (TPF) False Negative Fraction (FNF) False Positive Fraction (FPF) With or without disease gold standard

Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy Positive Predictive Value (PPV) Negative Predictive Value (NPV)

Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy Weighted Cost Loss factor due to misclassification Total cost

Decision variable z, for instance, body temperature difference with standard one (|T-T0|), to judge whther people have fever. Measures of Diagnostic Accuracy

Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve Used to evaluate the decision methods. The larger area under the curve, the better method the curve corresponds.
