Over-optimism in bioinformatics: an illustration
MOTIVATION In statistical bioinformatics research, different optimization mechanisms potentially lead to 'over-optimism' in published papers. So far, however, a systematic critical study concerning the various sources underlying this over-optimism is lacking. RESULTS We present an empirical study on over-optimism using high-dimensional classification as example. Specifically, we consider a 'p...
متن کاملOver-optimism in bioinformatics research
The problem of ”false research findings” in medical research has focused much attention in the last few years (Ioannidis, 2005). One of the main problems, termed as ”fishing for significance” in the present letter, is that researchers often (consciously or subconsciously) report results that are in fact the product of an intensive optimization, i.e. of multiple comparisons. Such results are typ...
متن کاملThe Bright Side of Managerial Over-optimism
Human inference and estimation is subject to systematic biases. In particular, there is a long literature showing that overconfidence can lead to sub-optimal decisions. We depart from this research by showing empirically that a) over-optimism is a related but different bias, b) importantly, it can improve firm’s welfare, and more specifically, firms’ profitability and market value, and c) it ca...
متن کاملOver-optimism Among Experts in Assessment and Foresight
It is still disputed whether foresight exercises should be based on top-expert assessments or on a broader base of less specialised experts, and whether the self-rating of experts is an acceptable method. Using the German 1993 and the Austrian 1998 Technology Delphis, this study addresses both questions: Self-rating is in fact an appropriate method for selecting experts. But the assessment of s...
متن کاملAn illustration of photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanorods array films
ZnO nanorods array films were coated on a glass template through a two-step chemical process. First, a sol-gel spin coating method was used to produce a ZnO seed layer and after that, the ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on it through a low temperature aqueous method. Synthesized films were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). X-ray diffraction results sho...
