Signal detection criterion for each method.
| Method | Detection Criterion |
|---|---|
| ROR, PRR | 95% CI lower bound > 2 |
| IC, BCPNN | 95% CI lower bound > log2(2) |
| GPS | EB05 > 2 |
| BCPNN | 95% CI lower bound > log2(2) |
| sB | 95% CI lower bound > 2 |
| LRT, TreeScan | p-value < 0.05 |
ROR, Reporting Odds Ratio; PRR, Proportional Reporting Ratio; IC, Information Component; LRT, Likelihood ratio test; GPS, Gamma Poisson Shrinker; BCPNN, Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network; sB simplified Bayes; TreeScan, Tree-based Scan Statistic.
