Reliable Prediction Errors for Deep Neural Networks Using Test-Time Dropout [PDF]
While the use of deep learning in drug discovery is gaining increasing attention, the lack of methods to compute reliable errors in prediction for Neural Networks prevents their application to guide decision making in domains where identifying unreliable predictions is essential, e.g. precision medicine. Here, we present a framework to compute reliable

Predictability Tests Robust against Parameter Instability [PDF]
We consider Wald type statistics designed for joint predictability and structural break testing based on the instrumentation method of Phillips and Magdalinos (2009). We show that under the assumption of nonstationary predictors: (i) the tests based on the OLS estimators converge to a nonstandard limiting distribution which depends on the nuisance ...

Comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of urine cytology, urinary nuclear matrix protein-22 and multitarget fluorescence in situ hybridization assay in the detection of bladder cancer [PDF]
This study aimed to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of urine cytology, BladderChek nuclear matrix protein-22 (NMP22) and UroVysion fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) tests

In primary hyperaldosteronism, discriminating bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH) from an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is important because adrenalectomy, which is usually curative in APA, is seldom effective in BAH.
