Making Real-World Evidence More Useful for Decision Making

Making Real-World Evidence More Useful for Decision Making.

Smog, Cognition and Real-World Decision-Making

Cognitive functioning is critical as in our daily life a host of real-world complex decisions in high-stakes markets have to be made. The decision-making process can be vulnerable to environmental stressors. Summarizing the growing economic and epidemiologic evidence linking air pollution, cognition performance and real-world decision-making, we first illustrate key physiological and psychologi...

Decision Making in Uncertain Real-World Domains

DTGolog, a decision-theoretic agent programming language based on the situation calculus, was proposed to ease some of the computational difficulties associated with Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) by using natural ordering constraints on execution of actions. Using DTGolog, domain specific constraints on a set of policies can be expressed in a high-level program to reduce significantly comput...

Regulatory decision-making meets the real world.

As patient input in drug development increases and new data sources are tapped, regulators need to organize and ensure the quality of data to inform decision-making.

Making CP-Nets (More) Useful

Preferences have been studied in philosophy, economics, psychology, and computer science and have a wide range of applications, such as e-commerce, recommender systems, decision support systems, and control of automated systems. A variety of methods have been proposed for modeling preferences. The one that I consider here is that of conditional preference networks (CP-nets). First studied by Bo...
