Printed in Great Britain Assessing the diagnostic accuracy of a sequence of tests
"... We consider the assessment of the overall diagnostic accuracy of a sequence of tests (e.g. repeated screening tests). The complexity of diagnostic choices when two or more continuous tests are used in sequence is illustrated, and different approaches to reducing the dimensionality are presented and ..."

and evaluated. For instance, in practice, when a single test is used repeatedly in routine screening, the same screening threshold is typically used at each screening visit. One possible alternative is to adjust the threshold at successive visits according to individual-specific characteristics
Evidence
"... This study investigates empirically how residence in ethnic enclaves affects labour market outcomes of refugees. Self-selection into ethnic enclaves in terms of unobservable characteristics is taken into account by exploitation of a Danish spatial dispersal policy which randomly disperses new refuge ..."

refugees across locations conditional on six individual-specific characteristics. The results show that refugees with unfavourable unobserved characteristics are found to self-select into ethnic enclaves. Furthermore, taking account of negative self-selection, a relative standard deviation increase
PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHINESS AMONG FREE-LIVING WOMEN
"... Abstract 1 Background: Improving our understanding of food-related healthiness perception may be 2 beneficial to assist those with eating- and weight-related problems. Purpose: This study 3 replicates and extends prior work by examining normative and person-specific predictors of the 4 perceived hea ..."

healthiness of foods in a sample of free-living women. Methods: One hundred sixty-5 nine women from the community judged the healthiness of 104 foods that varied in fat, fiber, 6 sugar, and protein content. Mixed-effects modeling estimated normative influences of food-7 specific and individual-specific
A Preliminary Study of Child Vocalization on a Parallel Corpus of US and
"... This paper studies various aspects of child vocalization as captured in a newly established parallel corpus of sixteen 18–31 months old US and Shanghainese toddlers. The recordings were acquired in 16hour sessions during an ‘ordinary ’ day in the child’s natural environment and manually labeled. The ..."

. In the prosodic domain, pitch patterns, duration, and rhythm are analyzed. Besides strong individual-specific characteristics of the subjects in some of the domains considered, the two language groups show differences in the occupation of the F1–F2 formant space, choice of pitch pattern durations, and consistency
The Wage Scar from Youth Unemployment
, 2004
"... In this paper we utilise the National Child Development Survey to analyse the impact of unemployment during youth upon the wage of individuals up to twenty years later. We find a large and significant wage penalty, even after controlling for educational achievement, region of residence and a wealth ..."

Our estimates are robust to the test, indicating that the relationship estimated between youth unemployment and the wage in later
Subject-Specific Computational Modeling of Evoked Rabbit Phonation
"... When developing high-fidelity computational model of vocal fold vibration for voice production of individuals, one would run into typical issues of unknown model parameters and model validation of individual-specific characteristics of phonation. In the current study, the evoked rabbit phonation is ..."

Mariposa: A Wide-Area Distributed Database System
- VLDB Journal
, 1996
"... Abstract. The requirements of wide-area distributed database systems differ dramatically from those of local-area network systems. In a wide-area network (WAN) configuration, individual sites usually report to different system administrators, have different access and charging algorithms, install si ..."

Time Aggregation and the Analysis of Welfare Persistence ∗
, 2012
"... Incomplete. Please do not cite. Dynamic discrete-choice models are an important tool in the existing empirical literature on welfare dynamics and the study of ‘structural ’ state dependence. These models typically rely on the assumption that benefit dynamics follow a first-order Markov process condi ..."

Using high-quality monthly data on welfare benefit receipt in Norway, this paper assesses to what extent
Self-Similarity and Heavy Tails: Structural Modeling of Network Traffic
, 1996
"... High-resolution traffic measurements from modern communications networks provide unique opportunities for developing and validating mathematical models for aggregate traffic. To exploit these opportunities, we emphasize the need for structural models that take into account specific physical features ..."

Information content of coyote barks and howls
- Bioacoustics
, 2006
"... ABSTRACT The information content of coyote (Canis latrans)vocalizations is poorly understood, but has important implications for understanding coyote behaviour. Coyotes probably use information present in barks or howls to recognize individuals, but the presence of individually-specific information ..."
