Graphical Depiction of Statistical Information Improves Gambling-Related Judgments

The Graphical Depiction of Design Patterns

If design patterns are to fulfill their promise of dramatically improving the quality, timeliness and reusability of software it is essential that techniques be found to document them concisely and accurately. Graphical notations offer a potentially powerful approach, but unfortunately current techniques for depicting object-oriented design patterns rely on notations that were initially develop...

The dangers of conflating gambling-related harm with disordered gambling

In their critical review of the prevention paradox (PP) applied to gambling-related harm, Delfabbro and King (2017) raise a number of concerns regarding specific assumptions, methods, and findings as well as the general conceptual approach. Besides discussing the PP, the review also considers the merits of considering a "continuum of harm," as opposed to the more traditional categorical approac...

Statistical Inference in Graphical Models

Graphical models fuse probability theory and graph theory in such a way as to permit efficient representation and computation with probability distributions. They intuitively capture statistical relationships among random variables in a distribution and exploit these relationships to permit tractable algorithms for statistical inference. In recent years, certain types of graphical models, parti...
