When Is Uncertainty About Uncertainty Worth Characterizing?
In areas of risk assessment ranging from terrorism to health, safety, and the environment, authoritative guidance urges risk analysts to quantify and display their uncertainties about inputs that significantly affect the results of an analysis, including their uncertainties about subjective probabilities of events. Such “uncertainty characterization” is said to be an important part of fully and...
متن کاملUniversal Fluctuations in Very Short ECG Episodes
We propose a new algorithm for the detection of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in very short surface electrocardiogram (ECG) episodes. Ventricular fibrillation is the most commonly identified arrhythmia in cardiac arrest patients and can lead to syncope, within seconds. The fast detection of ventricular fibrillation is necessary for prompt defibrillation either with an implantable cardioverter/d...
متن کاملVery Rough Notes : Uncertainty
Lotteries. A lottery L = (p, x) (or gamble) is a vector of payoffs (x1, x2, . . . , xn) with probabilities (p1, p2, . . . , pn). The payoffs might be consumption bundles or monetary payoffs. St Petersburg Paradox. The payoff is 2, where n is the first time the coin comes up heads. The expected value is infinite. If the game lasts just two rounds, it is worth 1 + 1. If it lasts 3 rounds, it is w...
متن کاملComparing Commercial Systems for Characterizing Episodes of Care *
Payers are increasingly using episodes of care to measure and reward efficiency in health care. Much attention has been paid to the effects of different rules for assigning episodes to providers, but little to how individual costs are assigned to episodes. In this paper, we studied the extent to which the two most widely-used commercially available episode groupers differ in the episodes they c...
متن کاملModel Uncertainty in Characterizing Recreation Demand
A Bayesian variable selection procedure is used to control for uncertainty in the specification of a recreational demand model. In contrast to comparing models based on the likelihood values with unknown sampling properties (as in, e.g., Egan et al, 2009), we propose a model that draws on the Bayesian paradigm to integrate the variable selection process into the model and reflect the accompanyi...
