Several studies have demonstrated that, in fact, performance of a test battery can be inferior to the best of the tests it includes. These studies have been quite persuasive in damping enthusiasm for the test battery approach. Because the results of all tests in a battery were weighted equally in these studies, it is not surprising that an individual test with good sensitivity and specificity is more effective diagnostically than a combination of tests with poorer sensitivity and specificity. The authors of many of these studies were well aware of the limitations of this approach. In the present study, neural networks were applied to evaluate audiological tests used to predict retrocochlear pathology by differentially weighting the results of the tests in the battery. This technique avoids some of the limitations of previous approaches. Of the audiological tests evaluated in the present analysis, the superiority of the auditory brainstem evoked response (ABR) in predicting retrocochlear disease was again demonstrated. However, the results also demonstrated that identification accuracy could be improved by combining the ABR with other tests (in this case contralateral acoustic reflex at 2000 Hz, ipsilateral acoustic reflex at 2000 Hz, tone decay, and word recognition score). Further, it was demonstrated that performance could be improved over that obtained using dichotomous test measures (i.e., positive or negative presence of pathology) by using raw test measures in conjunction with ABR.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1044\/jslhr.4202.287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,29]],"date-time":"2014-07-29T21:09:08Z","timestamp":1406668148000},"page":"287-299","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Neural Networks Applied to Retrocochlear Diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Daniel E.","family":"Callan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Communicative Disorders"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert E.","family":"Lasky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Communicative Disorders"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia G.","family":"Fowler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Communicative Disorders"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","first-page":"1205","article-title":"Low-cost high-resolution fast spin-echo MR of acoustic schwannoma: An alternative to enhanced conventional spin-echo MR?","volume":"17","author":"Allen R.","year":"1997","journal-title":"American Journal of Neuroradiology"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1044\/jslhr.4202.355"},{"issue":"5","key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","first-page":"608","article-title":"Successful detection of small acoustic tumors using the stacked derived-band auditory brain stem response amplitude","volume":"18","author":"Don M.","year":"1997","journal-title":"American Journal of Otology"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0028-1091421","article-title":"Decision matrix and information theory analyses in the evaluation of neuroaudiologic tests","volume":"4","author":"Jerger S.","year":"1983","journal-title":"Seminars in Hearing"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","volume-title":"Applied regression analysis and other multivariable methods","author":"Kleinbaum D.
