Cluster randomised trials : Methodological and ethical considerations

Theories of Artificial Intelligence —Meta-theoretical considerations

• “The best model of intelligence is the human brain itself (and all theories are merely poor approximations ...)” • “There is no need for any new theory, since AI can be built according to X (depending on who said it, the X can be mathematical logic, probability theory, theory of computation, ...)” • “A theory of AI has to be established piece by piece, and we are starting from Y (depending on...

Analysis of neurological dysphonias: methodological considerations

This paper provides a short introduction to the various methods available for the analysis of the voice of dysphonic patients suffering from neurological disorders. Both auditory-perceptual ratings as well as conventional acoustic perturbation measures are of limited relevance to the specific characterization of patient groups. However, the addition of further techniques such as electroglottogr...

Methodological Considerations in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

In decision making regarding optimal resource allocation to safeguard public health, policymakers and healthcare providers rely on the availability and reliability of data about the relative costs and benefits of competing treatment options. One such an approach is based on cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) which is intended to be used as a combined metric of both the costs and health outcomes ...

Outcome Measures for Artificial Pancreas Clinical Trials: A Consensus Report

Research on and commercial development of the artificial pancreas (AP) continue to progress rapidly, and the AP promises to become a part of clinical care. In this report, members of the JDRF Artificial Pancreas Project Consortium in collaboration with the wider AP community 1) advocate for the use of continuous glucose monitoring glucose metrics as outcome measures in AP trials, in addition to...
