Comparing aberration detection methods with simulated data

Comparing aberration detection methods with simulated data

We compared aberration detection methods requiring historical data to those that require little background by using simulated data. Methods that require less historical data are as sensitive and specific as those that require 3-5 years of data. These simulations can determine which method produces a...

Zusammenfassung:We compared aberration detection methods requiring historical data to those that require little background by using simulated data. Methods that require less historical data are as sensitive and specific as those that require 3-5 years of data. These simulations can determine which method produces appropriate sensitivity and specificity.
