论文摘要

脆弱性指数是一种临床动机的度量,旨在补充假设测试期间的$ p $值。该措施取决于两个支柱:选择病例以改变其结果并修改结果。该措施很有趣,但案例选择遭受了可能阻碍其解释的缺点。这项工作提出了弊端和方法,即旨在纠正它的随机广义脆弱指数。有关选举结果和戒烟的因果影响的两个例子说明了该方法。

The fragility index is a clinically motivated metric designed to supplement the $p$ value during hypothesis testing. The measure relies on two pillars: selecting cases to have their outcome modified and modifying the outcomes. The measure is interesting but the case selection suffers from a drawback which can hamper its interpretation. This work presents the drawback and a method, the stochastic generalized fragility indices, designed to remedy it. Two examples concerning electoral outcomes and the causal effect of smoking cessation illustrate the method.
