Answer to #1

ANS: B
The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is the most important overall measure of classifier performance.

Answer to #2

ANS: C
Knowledge discovery and data mining (KDDM) makes use of specialized analytic methods, characteristically machine learning, to identify patterns in a semi-automated fashion.

Answer to #3

ANS: A, B, C, D, F
The knowledge transformation process in the STAR Model occurs at five points, which can be conceptualized as a five-point star. These five points include discovery research, evidence summary, translation to guidelines, practice integration, and evaluation of process and outcomes. Testing the hypothesis is not a specific point in the STAR Model.

Answer to #4

ANS: A, B, C, D
Standardized terminology is requisite for naming, classifying, tagging, and locating evidence in order to use it in practice.

Answer to #5

ANS: A, B, C
Evidence summaries include evidence synthesis, systematic reviews, integrative reviews, and reviews of the literature.
