Confidence leak between independent tasks

Dynamic confidence during simulated clinical tasks.

OBJECTIVE Doctors' confidence in their actions is important for clinical performance. While static confidence has been widely studied, no study has examined how confidence changes dynamically during clinical tasks. METHOD The confidence of novice (n = 10) and experienced (n = 10) trainee anaesthetists was measured during two simulated anaesthetic crises, bradycardia (easy task) and failure to...

A Comparison of Writing Performance on Independent and Integrated Writing Tasks

Researchers and scholars have been attracted by the idea of using integrated writing task along with independent writing task to best assess the EFL learners’ writing competence. This study was conducted to compare the writing performance of EFL students in integrated and independent writing tasks. It also aimed to find out if writing performance varies with task types. A number of thirty Irani...

Confidence-interval estimation using quasi-independent sequences

A quasi-independent (QI) subsequence is a subset of time-series observations obtained by systematic sampling. Because the observations appear to be independent, as determined by the runs tests, classical statistical techniques can be used on those observations directly. This paper discusses implementation of a sequential procedure to determine the simulation run length to obtain a QI subsequenc...

Confidence Intervals for Independent Exponential Series Systems

A Database-Independent Strategy for Confidence Determination

Traditional association rules mmmg algorithm depends on two user-specified thresholds. One is the minimum support, which is statistically required. Another is the minimum confidence. Users or even experts are difficult to specify this confidence value. The association rules generated by using this classical confidence threshold are not always interesting. We propose a transformation from this t...
