我们提出了一种基于损失的方法来比较诊断测试的预测性能。与标准的评估机制不同，如接受者操作特征曲线下的面积和误分类率，我们的方法充分利用了可以获得的有关误分类成本的任何信息。我们认为，不考虑成本可能导致不正确的结论，并举例说明。(C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.版权所有。
We present a loss based method for comparing the predictive performance of diagnostic tests. Unlike standard assessment mechanisms, like the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve and the misclassification rate, our method takes specific advantage of any information that can be obtained about misclassification costs. We argue that not taking costs into account can lead to incorrect conclusions, and illustrate with two examples. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
