Examining the Base Rates of Atrial Fibrillation in Eastern North Carolina: Community Screening, Associated Risk Factors, and Psychological Correlates of Disease
… North Carolina has historically high prevalence rates of cardiovascular disease. Novel solutions such as mobile screening technology may aid in reaching this region’s vulnerable health population to prevent further disease progression. Additionally, symptoms of psychological distress are commonly …

An analysis of face matching accuracy and related variables: a meta-analysis and two follow-up studies
… however, inconsistent with multiple reports, base rates of mismatch did not reach significance. A second study further examined base rates of mismatch to see if awareness of the base rate is necessary for the known low prevalence effect to occur. Results found that awareness mitigated the low …

How accurate are interest inventories? A quantitative review of career choice hit rates
… membership. This analysis of predictive hit rates incorporates over 75 years of research investigating the accuracy of interest inventories. Using a binomial-normal meta-analytic model to quantitatively estimate the overall hit rate, the present analysis found that measured interests attain …
