Visualizing, Summarizing, and Comparing Odds Ratio Structures

Visualizing, Summarizing, and Comparing Odds Ratio Structures

The odds ratio is one of the main measures of association in 2× 2 tables. For larger tables, summary measures of association have been proposed as well as modeling strategies, where the odds ratios can be deduced from the parameters of a model. We propose a computationally simple scaling methodology, which gives a summary measure of association and a visualization of the odds ratio structure. D...

Summarizing and Comparing Story Plans

Branching story games have gained popularity for creating unique playing experiences by adapting story content in response to user actions. Research in interactive narrative (IN) uses automated planning to generate story plans for a given story problem. However, a story planner can generate multiple story plan solutions, all of which equally-satisfy the story problem definition but contain diff...

Odds Ratio, Hazard Ratio and Relative Risk

Odds ratio (OR) is a statistic commonly encountered in professional or scientific medical literature. Most readers perceive it as relative risk (RR), although most of them do not know why that would be true. But since such perception is mostly correct, there is nothing (or almost nothing) wrong with that. It is nevertheless useful to be reminded now and then what is the relation between the rel...

Summarizing and Visualizing Web People Search Results

People search is one major search activity on the Web. If the list of people search results is merely “person 1, person 2, . . . and so on,” users have difficulty determining which person clusters they should select. In this paper, we present a project that summarizes and visualizes Web people search results to help users select person clusters more easily. We explore three ways of summarizing ...
