Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

106.0K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

9.0K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

The Precise Definition of a Limit01:27

The Precise Definition of a Limit

333
Understanding the formal definition of a limit is essential for precise mathematical analysis. This concept allows us to rigorously determine how a function behaves near a particular point without relying on ambiguous notions such as "getting close." The ε-δ definition plays a foundational role in calculus, ensuring analytical clarity and logical consistency in limit evaluation.The formal definition states that the limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a is L, written asif for...

Design Example: Traverse Angle Computations

346
Traverse angle computations are a critical component of surveying, used to compute the internal angles within a closed traverse. A traverse consists of a series of connected lines forming a closed loop, often used for land boundary delineation or mapping. Calculating the internal angles ensures accuracy in the traverse geometry and is essential for checking survey data integrity.The process begins with known azimuths and bearings of the traverse sides. Internal angles at each vertex are...

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method01:24

Area Computation by the Alternative Coordinate Method

675
The alternative coordinate method, also known as the Shoelace Formula, is a technique for determining the area of a traverse using Cartesian coordinates. This method relies on the sequential arrangement of x and y coordinates for each point of the shape, ensuring accuracy and ease of application.In this approach, each corner's x and y coordinates are listed as fractions, with the x-coordinate as the numerator and the y-coordinate as the denominator. These coordinates are arranged sequentially...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Computational Psychiatry
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • The standard nosological model in psychiatry views diagnostic categories as causes of signs and symptoms.
  • This model presents limitations in naturally describing patient presentations and predicting treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an alternative nosological model for psychiatric morbidity.
  • To illustrate how diagnostic categories can be viewed as consequences of underlying psychopathology and pathophysiology.
  • To explore the potential of this reformulated model for a more naturalistic description and prediction in psychiatry.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a theoretical model where symptoms, signs, and diagnostic outcomes are generated from latent psychopathological states.
  • Conceptualization of psychopathology as arising from pathophysiological processes influenced by etiological factors (predisposing factors, life events).
  • Utilizing idealized simulations to demonstrate the model's potential and explore its implications.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model formally integrates diagnostic categories (e.g., DSM) with latent psychopathological constructs (e.g., Research Domain Criteria dimensions).
  • It provides a framework for evidence-based hypothesis testing using Bayesian model comparison.
  • The model demonstrates the potential for predicting therapeutic responses, aligning with precision medicine principles.

Conclusions:

  • This reformulated nosological model offers a promising alternative to the standard psychiatric approach.
  • It facilitates a more naturalistic understanding of patient presentations and therapeutic interventions.
  • The model's advantages, including formal integration, hypothesis testing, and predictive capabilities, are significant but require further empirical validation.
