Study Notes
Binary Classification Tables
- Categorizes samples into four groups: True Positives (A), False Positives (B), False Negatives (C), and True Negatives (D).
- A sample is correctly classified as positive (A).
- A negative sample (no condition) falsely classified as positive (B).
- A positive sample (has condition) falsely classified as negative (C).
- A sample correctly classified as negative (D).
Equations for Binary Classification Tests
- Includes expressions for calculating accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, prevalence, and other metrics.
- Formulae are presented using variables like A, B, C, D, and N (total samples).
- Provides definitions for true positives, false positives, false negatives, and true negatives.
Problem with Units - Diving Deeper
- Discusses units of constants in power functions (y(x) = Mxp + c).
- 'c' has the same units as 'y'.
- 'p' (power) is unitless.
- 'M' units are derived using alternative equation: M = N / x0.
- 'N' and 'x0' have units of 'y' and 'x', respectively.
General Form
- Explains the use of power law function, stating extra constant isn't necessary for modeling data.
- Introduces sine wave: y(t) = A sin((2πt)/P - S) + E
- Defines constants A, P, S, and E (amplitude, period, shift, equilibrium).
- Notes that each constant's value is dependent on the situation modeled.
SIR Models
- Describes SIR models with three groups: Susceptible (S), Infected (I), and Recovered (R).
- Adds total population (N = S + I + R).
- Explains the role of each group in the model (susceptibility, infection, recovery).
- Introduces basic reproduction number (Ro) and infectious period (IP).
Derivatives
- If a derivative is positive at a point, the function is increasing.
- If a derivative is negative at a point, the function is decreasing.
- A derivative of zero suggests a critical point (maximum or minimum).
- A constant derivative indicates a linear function.
Understanding Logistic DEs
- Discusses constants r (unconstrained growth rate) and K (carrying capacity) in logistic equations.
- A lower 'r' value results in slower growth.
- Higher 'r' values accelerate growth.
- Near zero, the function acts like an exponential (r).
- The function tends toward K but doesn't exceed it.
- Derivative is positive below K, negative above K, zero at K.
- Steepest slope is found at N = K/2.
Euler's Method
- Used to model system behavior over time using differential equations.
- Approximation of new values through tangents.
- Equation: y(t+h) = y(t) + h*y'(t)
SIR Differential Equations
- Introduces constants a and b related to disease-specific characteristics (Ro, IP).
- a = Ro/IP.Represents average infections per time period.
- b = 1/IP.Proportion of infected individuals recovering each period.
- Basic SIR equations provide S', I', and R' using a and b.
Lotka-Volterra Model
- Focuses on predator (P) and prey (Q) populations.
- Variables like F and I can substitute P and Q.
- Explains constants a, b, c, and d affecting the populations:
- 'a': Prey natural growth rate
- 'b': Effect of predator-prey interaction on prey
- 'c': Reduction in predator population due to competition.
- 'd': Effect of interaction on predator population based on prey.
Additional Topics (Page 2)
- Discusses different types of functions, including linear (y = mx + c), exponential (y = Cekx), and power (y = Mxp + c).
- Expands on logarithmic functions and their properties (log rules).
- Introduces 'log-lin' plots as a way to linearize exponential data.
- Describes surge functions (f(t) = ate-bt).
- Explores Newton's method for approximating solutions to functions.
- Discusses the concept of tangent lines and their relationship to derivatives.
- Provides a summary of SI Units.
