Prоblem 3 (22 pоints) Medicаl tests, such аs thоse for COVID-19, cаn suffer from false alarms and misses. As a human factors specialist, you have been asked to apply signal detection theory (SDT) to investigate doctors’ abilities to detect COVID-19 using chest x-rays. You have asked 2 doctors to examine 20 chest x-rays (10 who did not have COVID-19 and 10 who did have COVID-19). Use the following data sets generated from the 2 doctors, as well as Z scores and associated ordinate values given below, to answer parts (a)-(e). (a) Match the following three parameters of signal detection theory on the left-hand side with relevant descriptive phrases on the right-hand side. (1.5 pts) Left hand side: 1) Beta (β), 2) Response criterion (X), and 3) Sensitivity (d′). Right hand side: A) The ratio of the ordinates of the signal curve over the noise curve at the given criterion, B) A mental standard of judgment, C) A measure of discriminability that is in- sensitive to criterion shifts. (b) Quantify the degree of the Doctor sensitivity (d′) for each of the data set. (6 pts) (c) Calculate the beta (β) value for the operator for each of the data set. (6 pts) (d) List two main factors (discussed in class) which influence the setting of the optimal response criterion. Explain what happens to the response criterion and the doctor’s behavior as local infection rates increase and why. (4.5 pts) (e) The following ROC curves show the diagnostic accuracy of 7 laboratory measures collected by Mardani et al. (2020). Based on the ROC curves, what conclusions can you make about the effectiveness of WBC, LYM, and Albumin for diagnosing COVID-19? (4 pts) Mardani, R., Vasmehjani, A.
