Maximum Consistency Algorithms for Fusing Evidence
Random set theory together with Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions provide a convenient way how to model uncertain information and how to project it through a function. This paper consists of two parts. In the first part I investigate few known algorithms for retrieving mass assignments from the coherent lower and upper probabilities, so that they can be approximated by random sets with...
متن کاملEvidence for Consistency of the Glycation Gap in Diabetes
OBJECTIVE Discordance between HbA(1c) and fructosamine estimations in the assessment of glycemia is often encountered. A number of mechanisms might explain such discordance, but whether it is consistent is uncertain. This study aims to coanalyze paired glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c))-fructosamine estimations by using fructosamine to determine a predicted HbA(1c), to calculate a glycation gap ...
متن کاملEpidemiological evidence: improving validity through consistency analysis.
Information about the incidence and prevalence of diseases and injuries at the population level is frequently required for benchmarking, for advocacy of particular policies, to assist in setting funding priorities, for monitoring achievements towards internationally accepted goals and targets, and to guide technical strategies and responses. In this issue of the Bulletin (pp. 622–628), Kruijsha...
متن کاملEnsuring consistency among evidence-based practice interventions.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) has and will continue to be the mainstay among clinicians in applying interventions to practice. Sackett, Rosenberg, Gray, Haynes, and Richardson (1996) defined EBP as the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. Sackett et al. continued to describe EBP as integrating individual c...
متن کاملConsistency of Consistency
This project explores the topic of what causes respondents in a survey situation to answer more or less consistently across time to the identical political issue questions. This discussion was begun by Philip Converse in 1964, who used data from the 1956-1958-1960 American National Election Studies panel survey to put forth the idea that certain respondents were generally more consistent across...
