Models describing the role of source credibility in information integration were tested in two experiments. In the first experiment, subjects estimated the value of used cars based on two cues: blue book value and an estimate provided by one of three friends who examined the car.

متن کاملBayesian Inference: Combining Base Rates With Opinions of Sources Who Vary in Credibility
Subjects made judgments of the probability of an event given base-rate information and the opinion of a source. Base rate and the source's hit and false-alarm rates were manipulated in a within-subjects design. Hit rate and false-alarm rate were manipulated to produce sources of varied expertise and bias. The base rate, the source's opinion, and the source's expertise and bias all had large sys...

Research synthesis plays a central role in the process of scientific discovery, providing a formal methodology for the systematic accumulation and evaluation of scientific evidence. There are many situations in which research synthesis is required because obtaining the required information from an individual trial is not possible or practical.

متن کاملCombining Medical Information Coming from Different Sources
Medical databases contain information that is valuable form the point of view of diagnosis support. Datamining procedures are generally too complicated for current diagnostic investigations. Even if reasoning rules are known, a determination of their certainty factors is difficult. Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence solves the problem of calculation simplification if only diagnostic rules are s...
متن کاملCombining Information about Epidemic Threats from Multiple Sources
This paper describes an on-going effort to combine Information Retrieval (IR) and Information Extraction (IE) technologies, to leverage the benefits provided by both approaches to add value for the end-user, as compared with IR or IE in isolation. The main aim of the combined system is to pool together information from multiple sources to improve the quality of results. On one hand, multiple me...
