Proposal of Sequential Paired Comparison Method

Efficient method for paired comparison

This paper describes a more efficient paired comparison method that reduces the number of trials necessary for converting a table of paired comparisons into scaler data. Instead of comparing every pair of samples (the complete method), a partial method is used that makes more comparisons between closer samples than between more distant samples. A sorting algorithm is used to efficiently order t...

An Efficient Method for Paired-Comparison

Paired Comparison: A User Perspective

Paired comparison is an expert based judgment estimation technique. The method reduces individual judgment errors by requiring multiple pair-wise comparisons of relative sizes. Observations made in an academic environment shows that paired comparison produces more consistent results across estimators compared to ad-hoc methods and planning poker. A tool is introduced, which implements a more ef...

Analysis of Ordinal Paired Comparison Data

Limitations of the paired t-test for evaluation of method comparison data.

patients were referred to an oncologist or gynecologic oncologist with a suspected diagnosis of trophoblast disease or postgestational choriocarcinoma. Four of the six cases received multiple courses of methotrexate chemotherapy, and one of the six received in addition EMACO chemotherapy, with no major quantitative reduction in false-positive hCG results. After chemotherapy, two patients underw...
