Evaluating the Quality of Evidence from a Network Meta-Analysis
Systematic reviews that collate data about the relative effects of multiple interventions via network meta-analysis are highly informative for decision-making purposes. A network meta-analysis provides two types of findings for a specific outcome: the relative treatment effect for all pairwise comparisons, and a ranking of the treatments. It is important to consider the confidence with which th...
متن کاملEvaluating Income Streams: A Decision Analysis Approach
Most important decision problems—virtually all capital investments and planning situations—involve risky cash flows with uncertainties that are resolved over time. In most of these problems, the decision-maker has access to financial markets and may borrow and lend to smooth consumption over time. Yet, because of the difficulty of incorporating these borrowing and lending decisions into the eva...
متن کاملELECTION ANALYSIS Evaluating Education Policies: The Evidence from Economic Research
• Educational expenditure in the UK has increased enormously – but it is still only just above the OECD average. In 1997/98, expenditure on education and training as a percentage of GDP was 4.9% (the same level as in 1987/88) whereas in 2006, it was 5.9% of GDP. There is robust evidence that the increase in school expenditure between 2002 and 2007 led to a modest increase in educational attainm...
متن کاملEvaluating a practical decision support system from a usability perspective
If optimization software creates better solutions than any other available product it doesn’t imply that users are willing to use this product. The user has to be part of the software development process to guarantee the acceptance of the final product. This paper describes our approach to achieve this critical success factor of an industrially used decision support system.
متن کاملEvaluating Probability Estimates from Decision Trees
Decision trees, a popular choice for classification, have their limitation in providing good quality probability estimates. Typically, smoothing methods such as Laplace or m-estimate are applied at the decision tree leaves to overcome the systematic bias introduced by the frequency-based estimates. An ensemble of decision trees has also been shown to help in reducing the bias and variance in th...
