Constructing experimental designs for discrete-choice experiments: report of the ISPOR Conjoint Analysis Experimental Design Good Research Practices Task Force.
Stated-preference methods are a class of evaluation techniques for studying the preferences of patients and other stakeholders. While these methods span a variety of techniques, conjoint-analysis methods-and particularly discrete-choice experiments (DCEs)-have become the most frequently applied approach in health care in recent years. Experimental design is an important stage in the development...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Compensator Designs with Partial Feedbacks
The two-stage compensator designs of linear system are investigated in the framework of the factorization approach. First, we give “full feedback” two-stage compensator design. Based on this result, various types of the two-stage compensator designs with partial feedbacks are derived. Keywords—Linear System, Factorization Approach, Two-Stage Compensator Design, Parametrization of Stabilizing Co...
متن کاملAn Approach to Constructing Nested Space-Filling Designs for Multi-Fidelity Computer Experiments.
Multi-fidelity computer experiments are widely used in many engineering and scientific fields. Nested space-filling designs (NSFDs) are suitable for conducting such experiments. Two classes of NSFDs are currently available. One class is based on special orthogonal arrays of strength two and the other consists of nested Latin hypercube designs. Both of them assume all factors are continuous. We ...
متن کاملUsing blocked fractional factorial designs to construct discrete choice experiments for healthcare studies.
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are increasingly used for studying and quantifying subjects preferences in a wide variety of healthcare applications. They provide a rich source of data to assess real-life decision-making processes, which involve trade-offs between desirable characteristics pertaining to health and healthcare and identification of key attributes affecting healthcare. The choi...
متن کاملAn Improved Pixon-Based Approach for Image Segmentation
An improved pixon-based method is proposed in this paper for image segmentation. In thisapproach, a wavelet thresholding technique is initially applied on the image to reduce noise and toslightly smooth the image. This technique causes an image not to be oversegmented when the pixonbasedmethod is used. Indeed, the wavelet thresholding, as a pre-processing step, eliminates theunnecessary details...
