0 a rate (= level of interest) decided by the Bank of England that banks use when deciding how much to charge for lending money:
1 the rate of interest that is set by a central bank, and which is the lowest rate at which it lends money to other banks. This rate affects the interest rates which are then charged to customers by the banks:
A proposed solution to the base rate problem in the kappa statistic.
The shaded area represents types of cases in which the probability of a significant psychopathology during childhood rises significantly above the base rate.
The higher base rate of discord in our control sample could make it more difficult to detect an effect.
If there is a true latent taxon present, then valid indicators should produce consistent estimates of the taxon base rate, regardless of the variable pairings.
The association between victimization and these low base rate internalizing behaviors does not appear to be strong.
They argue that because the base rate lacks reference class specificity its use is negated in these problems.
One of the most widely discussed factors is the base rate, or the frequency with which a disorder presents at a particular setting.
The table relies on published estimates of the base rate from different settings, to offer clinically relevant standards of comparison.
