How physicians allocate causation: a scenario study with factorial design

How to Allocate Network Centers

This paper deals with the issue of allocating and utilizing centers in a distributed network, in its various forms. The paper discusses the signiicant parameters of center allocation, deenes the resulting optimization problems, and proposes several approximation algorithms for selecting centers and for distributing the users among them. We concentrate mainly on balanced versions of the problem,...

HOW PHYSICIANS MANAGE SEIZURE DISORDERS IN INFANTS AND CHILDREN: A PILOT STUDY

To see which medical specialties usually manage seizure disorders in infants and children, a random survey was done among 105 such patients referred. These patients were most frequently seen by a pediatrician (n= 44, 4 1.9%), general practitioner (n=34, 32.4%), and hospital house staff of general and pediatric emergency rooms (n= 2, 19%) in the area surveyed. A correct diagnosis of seizure ...

How to Allocate Resources For Features Acquisition?

We study classification problems where features are corrupted by noise and where the magnitude of the noise in each feature is influenced by the resources allocated to its acquisition. This is the case, for example, when multiple sensors share a common resource (power, bandwidth, attention, etc.). We develop a method for computing the optimal resource allocation for a variety of scenarios and d...

How to allocate Research ( and other ) Subsidies ∗

A budget-constrained buyer wants to purchase items from a shortlisted set. Items are differentiated by observable quality and sellers have private reserve prices for their items. The buyer’s problem is to select a subset of maximal quality. Money does not enter the buyer’s objective function, but only his constraints. Sellers quote prices strategically, inducing a knapsack game. We derive the B...
