Chatzimichail T, Hatjimihail AT. Relation: A Software Tool for Exploring the Relation between Diagnostic Accuracy and Measurement Uncertainty. Ver. 1.0.2. Drama: Hellenic Complex Systems Laboratory, 2020
Description
This is an exploratory software tool for the relation between diagnostic accuracy measures and measurement uncertainty, as diagnostic accuracy is fundamental to clinical decision making, while measurement uncertainty is critical to quality and risk management in laboratory medicine. It provides five modules with six submodules for calculating, optimizing, plotting and comparing various diagnostic accuracy measures and the corresponding risk of diagnostic or screening tests measuring a normally distributed measurand, applied at a single point in time in non-diseased and diseased populations. This is done for differing prevalence of the disease, mean and standard deviation of the measurand, diagnostic threshold, standard measurement uncertainty of the tests and expected loss.
