The learning curve [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 2004
Bridgewater and colleagues have studied the surgical results of surgeons in each of their first four years of independent practice and report that there is a learning curve.1 To explain the concept of a learning curve a surgeon writing in the New Yorker magazine chose for his example the insertion of a central venous line into the subclavian vein by ...

Learning to Rank Learning Curves

open access: yesCoRR, 2020
Many automated machine learning methods, such as those for hyperparameter and neural architecture optimization, are computationally expensive because they involve training many different model configurations. In this work, we present a new method that saves computational budget by terminating poor configurations early on in the training. In contrast to

Retiring the Learning Curve [PDF]

open access: yesObesity Surgery, 2009
Tom Chalmers was a great American advocate for the power of metaanalyses and the adjudication of doubt through randomized controlled trials. He was famous for his admonition to randomize with the first patient in a trial and for his abhorrence of the learning curve in clinical therapeutics. A scientific icon, Dr.

Behind the Learning Curve

open access: yesAnnals of Business Administrative Science, 2013
The learning curve depicts a decrease in production cost per unit as cumulative volume increases. However, a learning curve does not realize even if the history of production translates into an increase of cumulative volume. It is major premises for cost

Bending the Learning Curve [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2015
This paper aims at improving the application of the learning curve, a popular tool used for forecasting future costs of renewable technologies in integrated assessment models (IAMs). First, we formally discuss under what assumptions the traditional (OLS) estimates of the learning curve can deliver meaningful predictions in IAMs.

Prostate Cancer Detection by Novice Micro-Ultrasound Users Enrolled in a Training Program

open access: yesSociété Internationale d’Urologie Journal, 2022
ObjectiveMicro-ultrasound is an imaging modality used to visualize and target prostate cancer during transrectal or transperineal biopsy. We evaluated the effectiveness of a micro-ultrasound training program and estimated the learning curve for prostate ...
