	ICER (file Format) ICER is a wavelet-based image compression file format used by the NASA Mars rovers. ICER has both lossy and lossless compression modes. The Mars Exploration Rovers ''Spirit'' and ''Opportunity'' both used ICER. Onboard image compression is used extensively to make best use of the downlink resources. The ''Curiosity'' rover supports the use of ICER for its navigation cameras (but all other cameras use other file formats). Most of the MER images are compressed with the ICER image compression software. The remaining MER images that are compressed make use of modified Low Complexity Lossless Compression (LOCO) software, a lossless submode of ICER. ICER is a wavelet-based image compressor that allows for a graceful trade-off between the amount of compression (expressed in terms of compressed data volume in bits/pixel) and the resulting degradation in image quality (distortion). ICER has some similarities to JPEG2000, with respect to select wavelet operations. The development o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Institute For Clinical And Economic Review The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) is a Boston-based independent nonprofit organization that seeks to place a value on medical care by providing comprehensive clinical and cost-effectiveness analyses of treatments, tests, and procedures. ICER was founded in about 2005 by physician-researcher Steven D. Pearson. Until 2014 it concentrated on assessing health care costs (rather than evaluating drugs). It evaluates the cost-effectiveness of drugs in a similar way to the UK's NICE, and has come under some criticism from the drug industry. ICER has placed a monetary value on several prescription drugs since 2014. Insurers have used those evaluations to justify which drugs are approved or denied. The institution is funded by Arnold Ventures LLC (formerly the Laura and John Arnold Foundation), drug makers, insurers, and government grants. Threshold cost criteria ICER uses a “value assessment framework” to decide prices for select medical treatments. The framework wa ...

	Incremental Cost-effectiveness Ratio The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) is a statistic used in cost-effectiveness analysis to summarise the cost-effectiveness of a health care intervention. It is defined by the difference in cost between two possible interventions, divided by the difference in their effect. It represents the average incremental cost associated with 1 additional unit of the measure of effect. The ICER can be estimated as: :ICER=\frac, where C_ and E_ are the cost and effect in the intervention group and where C_ and E_ are the cost and effect in the control care group. Costs are usually described in monetary units, while effects can be measured in terms of health status or another outcome of interest. A common application of the ICER is in Cost–utility analysis, cost-utility analysis, in which case the ICER is synonymous with the cost per quality-adjusted life years, quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Cost-effectiveness threshold The ICER can be used as a decision rule or cost- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	SIGCSE SIGCSE is the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) Special Interest Group (SIG) on Computer Science Education (CSE), which provides a forum for educators to discuss issues related to the development, implementation, and/or evaluation of computing programs, curricula, and courses, as well as syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy. SIGCSE is also the colloquial name for the SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education, which is the largest of the four conferences organized by SIGCSE. The main focus of SIGCSE is higher education, and discussions include improving computer science education at high school level and below. The membership level has held steady at around 3300 members for several years. the chair of SIGCSE is Alison Clear for July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. Conferences SIGCSE has four large annual conferences: # The SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education is held in North America with an average annual a ...
