Classification With Measurement Error In Covariates Or Response, With Application To Prostate Cancer Imaging Study, Kexin Luo
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The research is motivated by the prostate cancer imaging study conducted at the University of Western Ontario to classify cancer status using multiple in-vivo images. The prostate cancer histological image and the in-vivo images are subject to misalignment in the co-registration procedure, which can be viewed as measurement error in covariates or response. We investigate methods to correct this problem.
The first proposed method corrects the predicted class probability when the data has misclassified labels. The correction equation is derived from the relationship between the true response and the error-prone response. The probability for the observed class label is adjusted …
