Estimating the Expected Value of Sample Information Using the Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis Sample
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the Ades et al. method we calculate, for each sampled dataset, either the exact posterior expected net benefit for each decision option, or some close analytic approximation. We denote the analytically calculated posterior expected net benefit for data sample k and decision option d as NB

Estimating Multiparameter Partial Expected Value of Perfect Information from a Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis Sample
The partial expected value of perfect information (EVPI) quantifies the expected benefit of learning the values of uncertain parameters in a decision model. Partial EVPI is commonly estimated via a 2-level Monte Carlo procedure in which parameters of interest are sampled in an outer loop, and then conditional on these, the remaining parameters are sampled in an inner loop. This is computational...
متن کاملEstimating the Expected Value of Sample Information Using the Probabilistic Sensitivity Analysis Sample: A Fast, Nonparametric Regression-Based Method.
Health economic decision-analytic models are used to estimate the expected net benefits of competing decision options. The true values of the input parameters of such models are rarely known with certainty, and it is often useful to quantify the value to the decision maker of reducing uncertainty through collecting new data. In the context of a particular decision problem, the value of a propos...
متن کاملIntelligent prediction of heating value of coal
The gross calorific value (GCV) or heating value of a sample of fuel is one of the important properties which defines the energy of the fuel. Many researchers have proposed empirical formulas for estimating GCV value of coal. There are some known methods like Bomb Calorimeter for determining the GCV in the laboratory. But these methods are cumbersome, costly and time consuming. In this paper, m...
متن کاملFast efficient computation of expected value of sample information from a probabilistic sensitivity analysis sample: a non-parametric regression approach
Health economic models are used to estimate the expected net benefits of competing decision options. The true values of the parameters of such models are rarely known with certainty, and it is often useful to quantify the value of undertaking further data collection (e.g. a future trial) in order to reduce uncertainty. The value of a proposed future trial can be quantified by its Expected Value...
متن کاملSequential-Based Approach for Estimating the Stress-Strength Reliability Parameter for Exponential Distribution
In this paper, two-stage and purely sequential estimation procedures are considered to construct fixed-width confidence intervals for the reliability parameter under the stress-strength model when the stress and strength are independent exponential random variables with different scale parameters. The exact distribution of the stopping rule under the purely sequential procedure is approximated ...
