Psychometric Scaling: Avoiding the Pitfalls and Hazards
Psychometric scaling is widely used in the imaging filed for obtaining scale values of image quality and its attributes. Although widely used, scaling has its pitfalls and hazards. This paper reviews the process of scaling and provides some practical hints for conducting psychometric scaling studies and avoiding the most common hazards. The scaling process is described along with suggestions fo...
متن کاملAvoiding Moral Hazards in Organizational Forecasting
We describe a new mechanism that induces accurate forecasts within an organization while reducing moral hazards and the stigma associated with negative opinions. It is based on the notion of identity escrow, whereby the identity of a forecaster is kept anonymous and only revealed when a number of his subordinates detect an attitude that is contrary to the interests of the organization. An analy...
متن کاملAvoiding Hazards for Speed-Independent Logic Design
In the speed-independent logic, the hazards caused by input inverters are identified. The known methods of the elimination of such hazards are based on avoiding input inverters. In contrast, we propose the method that produces hazard-free circuits with combined (both right and inverse) input signals. It is shown that such circuits are competitive (in terms of complexity) to ones implemented usi...
متن کاملThe Best Guess Hypothesis in Multistage Inference i
Intuitive multistage inferences are typically excessive when compared with the optimal model, a modified form of Bayes' theorem. One explanation for this excessiveness is that the S primarily attends to the implications of the probable event described by the first-stage inference, neglecting the implications of less likely events. If a S follows this strategy, called a "best guess" strategy, th...
متن کاملNew climate change scenarios
whaling in the Southern Ocean is problematic. " The Japanese are still out catching fairly significant numbers of whales, and not just minkes, though that's what they're meant to be focusing on, " he commented. " If they stuck to their targets, and did their whaling as they say they do when they're at the IWC meetings, then I think they might have a little more support. They'd also need to do t...
