A statistical procedure was devised for selecting, from a group of contenders, a relatively small set of variables which most efficiently predict medical specialty choice. While it is possible to predict medical specialty choice with fair accuracy using subsets of variables, predictions are not conclusive enough to be useful in actual decision-making concerning individuals.
设计了一种统计程序,用于从一组竞争者中选出相对较少的一组变量,这些变量能最有效地预测医学专业选择。虽然使用变量子集有可能较为准确地预测医学专业选择,但预测结果还不够确凿,无法在针对个体的实际决策中发挥作用。
