Writing a Wikipedia Article on Cultural Competence in Health Care
No full textThis article describes how librarians created a Wikipedia article on cultural competence in health care to support the medical school’s curriculum. Wikipedia, often considered not as reliable as scholarly articles, continues to be popular. Rutgers librarians conducted a Wikipedia project to improve its content to benefit students. The importance of cultural competency in health care is widely recognized due to increasingly diverse patient populations. Medical schools integrate cultural competency in curricula to train students to be culturally competent. Therefore, this topic was chosen for the Wikipedia Project. It is hoped that health sciences librarians and educators will benefit from their experience
Evaluierung des linearen Modells von Lin und Tsai zur Prognose von Sterbewahrscheinlichkeiten
No full textIn einem Artikel von Lin und Tsai (2015) zeigt sich, dass eine einfache lineare Regression Sterbewahrscheinlichkeiten in vielen Fällen genauer vorhersagt als das verbreitete Lee-Carter Modell. Das ursprüngliche Lee-Carter Modell, das in diesem Vergleich verwendet wird, weist allerdings oftmals eine unplausible Diskontinuität im Prognoseintervall auf. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob die Methode von Lin und Tsai auch dann noch bessere Ergebnisse liefert, wenn diese Diskontinuität korrigiert wird. Außerdem wird vermutet, dass ein einfaches Random Walk Modell mit Drift ähnlich gute Prognosen hervorbringt wie die Regression von Lin und Tsai. Beide Fragestellungen werden bearbeitet, um die Qualität der Vorhersagen durch die Lin-Tsai Methode besser beurteilen zu können. Zu diesem Zweck werden in acht Ländern Ein-Schritt-Prognosen der verschiedenen Modelle verglichen. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass die korrigierten Lee-Carter Modelle und selbst der simple Random Walk mit Drift im Allgemeinen bessere Vorhersagen treffen als die Regression von Lin und Tsai. Dieses Resultat lässt sich auch im Rahmen zweier Anwendungsbeispiele bezüglich Lebenserwartungen und Versicherungsprämien bestätigen. Die Qualität der Prognosen auf Basis der Lin-Tsai Regression erscheint demnach sehr zweifelhaft.Lin and Tsai (2015) suggested a simple linear regression that was shown to predict the mortality rates of some countries more accurately than the widely cited Lee-Carter model. However, the Lee-Carter model they used in their article may suffer from significant bias in the early years of the forecast. It is not clear if Lin and Tsai's regression is better than the bias-corrected versions of the Lee-Carter model. Furthermore, it can be claimed that the forecasts of an even simpler random walk with drift may be very similar to the ones of the Lin-Tsai model. It is the aim of this thesis to evaluate the performance of the Lin-Tsai regression in eight countries by comparing its one-step-ahead predictions to those of the above-mentioned models. Most cases show that the random walk with drift and the adjusted Lee-Carter models are superior to the method proposed by Lin and Tsai. This result is also confirmed in two additional applications where the models are used to price insurance products and to predict life expectancy
