Consistency and inconsistency in network meta-analysis: model estimation using multivariate meta-regression‡
Network meta-analysis (multiple treatments meta-analysis, mixed treatment comparisons) attempts to make the best use of a set of studies comparing more than two treatments. However, it is important to assess whether a body of evidence is consistent or inconsistent. Previous work on models for network meta-analysis that allow for heterogeneity between studies has either been restricted to two-ar...
متن کاملManaging inconsistency and promoting consistency
In this paper we describe an approach to (in)consistency management in viewpoint specii-cation using formal description techniques. Our development model consists of two phases. In the rst phase (\inconsistency management"), viewpoints are developed independently, and inconsistency is detected and reported back to the viewpoint speciiers by a central inconsistency manager. Once the inconsistenc...
متن کاملL1-Consistency of Dirichlet Mixtures in Multivariate Bayesian Density Estimation
Density estimation, especially multivariate density estimation, is a fundamental problem in nonparametric inference. Dirichlet mixture priors are often used in practice for such problem. However, asymptotic properties of such priors have only been studied in the univariate case. We extend L1-consistency of Dirichlet mixutures in the multivariate density estimation setting. We obtain such a resu...
متن کاملReasoning from inconsistency to consistency.
This article presents a theory of how individuals reason from inconsistency to consistency. The theory is based on 3 main principles. First, individuals try to construct a single mental model of a possibility that satisfies a current set of propositions, and if the task is impossible, they infer that the set is inconsistent. Second, when an inconsistency arises from an incontrovertible fact, th...
متن کاملRecovering Consistency by Forgetting Inconsistency
In this paper, we introduce and study a new paraconsistent inference relation |=c in the setting of 3-valued paraconsistent logics. Using inconsistency forgetting as a key mechanism for recovering consistency, it guarantees that the deductive closure Cn|=c(Σ) of any belief base Σ is classically consistent and classically closed. This strong feature, not shared by previous inference relations in...
