Individual survival curves comparing subjective and observed mortality risks.
We compare individual survival curves constructed from objective (actual mortality) and elicited subjective information (probability of survival to a given target age). We develop a methodology to estimate jointly subjective and objective individual survival curves accounting for rounding on subjective reports of perceived survival. We make use of the long follow-up period in the Health and Ret...
متن کاملEliciting Subjective Probabilities in Internet Surveys.
Individuals' subjective expectations are important in explaining heterogeneity in individual choices, but their elicitation poses some challenges, in particular when one is interested in the subjective probability distribution of an individual. We have developed an innovative visual representation for Internet surveys that has some advantages over previously used formats. In this paper we prese...
متن کاملLessons learned from avalanche survival patterns.
E366 CMAJ, April 19, 2011, 183(7) © 2011 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors The study by Haegeli and coauthors in CMAJ provides new insight into survival patterns after complete avalanche burial. The authors report survival curves from data for 301 complete avalanche burials in Canada from 1980 to 2005 and compare them with the standard survival curve derived from Swiss data for 946 ...
متن کاملScoring-Rule Procedures for Eliciting Subjective Probability and Utility Functions
This chapter considers a situation in which the elicitor wants to discover the precise form of a function which characterizes a subject’s preferences or probabilistic beliefs. All of the "scoring-rule" elicitation procedures developed have a common structure: the subject’s expected utility depends on a function reported by the subject, and the elicitor uses the reported function to calculate th...
متن کاملFast identification of transits from light-curves
We present an algorithm that allows fast and efficient detection of transits, including planetary transits, from light-curves. The method is based on building an ensemble of fiducial models and compressing the data using the MOPED algorithm. We describe the method and demonstrate its efficiency by finding planet-like transits in simulated Pan-STARRS light-curves. We show that that our method is...
