Assertions about patient information are not supported

Recursive Assertions are not enough - or are they?

Call a set of assertions sd complete (with respect to a class of programs .9') if for any p, a e sof and S e ,g', whenever 1/21.5{q} holds, then all intermediate assertions can be chosen from st This paper is devoted to the study of the problem which sets of assertions are complete in the above sense. We prove that any set of recursive assertions containing true and false is not complete. We pr...

For Bayesian Wannabes, Are Disagreements Not About Information?

Consider two agents who want to be Bayesians with a common prior, but who cannot due to computational limitations. If these agents agree that their estimates are consistent with certain easy-to-compute consistency constraints, then they can agree to disagree about any random variable only if they also agree to disagree, to a similar degree and in a stronger sense, about an average error. Yet av...

Assertions Are Objects Too!

Internet supported standardized patient information for selfcare.

BACKGROUND An informed patient is a better partner for the physician than an uninformed one. Such a patient will be more likely to practice effective selfcare, appropriately utilize the health care system, and be prepared to seek and obtain health care services that meet his needs. Objectives. To develop a system of presenting standardized medical information for the general population based on...

Information is not about measurability

We present a simple example where the use of σ-algebras as a model of information leads to a paradoxical conclusion: a decision maker prefers less information to more. We then explain that the problem arises because the use of σ-algebras as the informational content of a signal is inadequate. We provide a characterization of the different models of information in the literature in terms of Blac...
