Should linking replace regression when mapping from profile-based measures to preference-based measures?
BACKGROUND Profile instruments are frequently used to assess health-related quality of life and other patient-reported outcomes. However, preference-based measures are required for health-economic cost-utility evaluations. RESULTS Although regression-based approaches are commonly used to map from profile measures to preference measures, we show that this results in biased estimates because of...
متن کاملTowards Case-Based Preference Elicitation: Similarity Measures on Preference Structures
While decision theory provides an appealing normative framework for representing rich preference structures, eliciting utility or value functions typically incurs a large cost. For many applications involving interactive sys tems this overhead precludes the use of for mal decision-theoretic models of preference. Instead of performing elicitation in a vacuum, it would be useful if we could aug...

متن کاملUtility-based Performance Measures for Regression
Costs and benefits are of key importance for most real-world data mining applications. The main work carried out within ML/DM on cost-sensitive learning has been centered on classification tasks. Nevertheless, there are many real-world regression applications where costs and/or benefits of the predictions play an important role. On such applications, the costs and/or benefits of a prediction ca...
متن کاملSlice-based Formal Specification Measures - Mapping Coupling and Cohesion Measures to Formal Z
This paper demonstrates that existing slice-based measures can reasonably be mapped to the field of state-based specification languages. By making use of Z specifications this contribution renews the idea of slice-profiles and derives coupling and cohesion measures for them. The measures are then assessed by taking a critical look at their sensitiveness in respect to modifications on the specif...
