Fitness Optimizing Theory Can be Misleading when Applied to Human Behavior
The mathematical approach to understand the genetic impact on human behavior, e.g., using game theory, tends to assume that evolution creates optimal fitness. However, evolution does not necessarily create optimal behavioral patterns, particularly not when the environment is rapidly changing. Consequently some of the inferences based on game theory are misleading. More specifically, certain asp...

Recanalization Rates Can Be Misleading To the Editor: We read with interest Rha and Saver’s1 review of relationships between recanalization and outcome and commend them on their comprehensive review of pertinent literature.

متن کاملModeling Outputs Can Be Valuable When Uncertainty Is Appropriately Acknowledged, but Misleading When Not
While modeling approaches seek to draw on the best available evidence to project health impact of improved coverage of specific interventions, uncertainty around the outputs often remains. When the modeling estimates are used for advocacy, these uncertainties should be communicated to policy makers clearly and openly to ensure they understand the model's limits and to maintain their confidence ...
متن کاملCan ILP be Applied to Large Dataset?
There exist large data in science and business. Existing ILP systems cannot be applied effectively for data sets with 10000 data points. In this paper, we consider a technique which can be used to apply for more than 10000 data by simplifying it. Our approach is called Approximative Generalisation and can compress several data points into one example. In case that the original examples are mixt...
