Bayesian decision analysis for choosing between diagnostic/prognostic prediction procedures

Bayesian decision analysis for choosing between diagnostic/prognostic prediction procedures.

New diagnostic procedures and prognostic markers are continually being developed for a wide range of medical complaints. Medical institutions are therefore regularly faced with the decision as to whether to replace an existing procedure with a new one. The decision to adopt a new method is primarily based on diagnostic/predictive accuracy and cost-effectiveness, but this trade-off is not usuall...

Choosing a Commercial Broiler Strain Based on Multicriteria Decision Analysis

With the complexity and amount of information in a wide variety of comparative performance reports in poultry production, making a decision is difficult. This problem is overcomed only when all data can be put into a common unit. For this purpose, five different decision making analysis approaches including  Maximin, Equally likely, Weighted average, Ordered weighted averages and Technique for ...

Choosing Classifiers for Decision Fusion

This paper investigates the use of the ρ-correlation as a measure for classifier diversity to aid in the choice of classifiers for a fusion ensemble. Specifically, we define a measure that captures the correlation for n classifiers for binary output as well as for classifier with continuous output. We then suggest the use of the ρ-correlation in classifier selection where classifiers are picked...

Fuzzy multi-criteria selection procedures in choosing data source

Technology assessment and selection has a substantial impact on organizations procedures in regards to technology transfer. Technological decisions are usually made by a group of experts, and whereby integrity of these viewpoints to a single decision can be quite complex. Today, operational databases and data warehouses exist to manage and organize data with specific features and henceforth, th...
