TL;DR
The objective was to increase sensitivity by changing the rule strength for the preterm birth class by studying two prenatal data sets and two other medical data sets to choose the optimal rule strength.
Abstract
We studied two prenatal data sets and two other medical data sets. Our objective was to increase sensitivity (accuracy of preterm birth) by changing the rule strength for the preterm birth class. Two criteria for choosing the optimal rule strength are discussed: the greatest difference between the true-positive and false-positive probabilities and the maximum profit.

It is shown that it is possible to build a hybrid classifier that will perform at least as well as the best available classifier for any target conditions, and in some cases, the performance of the hybrid actually can surpass that of the best known classifier.

Seven special cases which are presented were chosen from the simplest problems in signal detection which closely represent practical situations and should serve to suggest methods for attacking other simple signal detection problems and to give insight into problems too complicated to allow a direct solution.
