Prevalence Threshold

Prevalence threshold research investigates the relationship between the frequency of a phenomenon (e.g., disease, specific features in data) and the accuracy of its detection or prediction by various models, including neural networks (like recurrent and ordinary differential equation-based models), and machine learning classifiers (such as random forests and support vector machines). Current research focuses on understanding how prevalence shifts impact model performance and developing methods to mitigate these effects, particularly in applications like disease forecasting and medical image analysis. This work is crucial for improving the reliability and generalizability of predictive models across diverse contexts and for ensuring accurate interpretations of model outputs, especially in high-stakes applications.
