| Title: | A note on decision theoretic coefficients for tests |
| Authors: | Wilcox, Rand R. |

| Abstract: | Recently it was suggested that the Bayes risk
might be used to characterize tests. To conform to
common practices about indexes, a rescaling of the
Bayes risk was proposed. The motivation for this
new coefficient, d, was to provide an index that has
a large value when the Bayes risk is small and that
has a value in the closed interval [0, 1]. However,
since d might have a value outside this range, a
modification of d is described which yields an index
that always has a value between zero and one. |
