Criteria for Ranking Therapeutic Innovation

Introduction Innovation in drug therapy is a source of continuing debate for all those who, for various reasons, are concerned with drugs: manufacturers, regulatory agencies, academia, health care professionals and patients. The term “innovative” often tends to be used to define a new drug proposed for entry onto the market, while it is instead necessary to find a more precise definition of thi...

Risk and Return in Momentum Strategies: Profitability from Portfolios based on Risk-Adjusted Stock Ranking Criteria

Criteria Sliders: Learning Continuous Database Criteria via Interactive Ranking

Large databases are often organized by hand-labeled metadata—or criteria—which are expensive to collect. We can use unsupervised learning to model database variation, but these models are often high dimensional, complex to parameterize, or require expert knowledge. We learn low-dimensional continuous criteria via interactive ranking, so that the novice user need only describe the relative order...

Categorizing risks for risk ranking.

Any practical process of risk ranking must group hazards into a manageable number of categories. Defining such categories requires value choices that can have important implications for the rankings that result. Most risk-management organizations will find it useful to begin defining categories in terms of environmental loadings or initiating events. However, the resulting categories typically ...

Ranking by Dependence - A Fair Criteria

Estimating the dependences between random variables, and ranking them accordingly, is a prevalent problem in machine learning. Pursuing frequentist and information-theoretic approaches, we first show that the p-value and the mutual information can fail even in simplistic situations. We then propose two conditions for regularizing an estimator of dependence, which leads to a simple yet effective...
