What are health utilities ?
G Measuring health utilities involves two main steps: defining a set of health states of interest, and valuing those health states. There are direct or indirect methods of utility valuation. G The methods that have been used to collect data on utilities include the standard gamble approach, the time trade-off approach and the visual analogue approach. G The main indirect methods of utility meas...
متن کاملDeriving the Expected Utility of a Predictive Model When the Utilities Are Uncertain
Predictive models are often constructed from clinical databases with the goal of eventually helping make better clinical decisions. Evaluating models using decision theory is therefore natural. When constructing a model using statistical and machine learning methods, however, we are often uncertain about precisely how the model will be used. Thus, decision-independent measures of classification...
متن کاملMoments Based Functional Synchronization
A significant problem with most functional data analyses is that of misaligned curves. Without adjustment, even an analysis as simple as estimation of the mean will fail. A common “synchronization” approach involves equating “landmarks” such as peaks or troughs. The landmarks method can work well but will fail if marker events can not be identified or are missing from some curves. It may also i...
متن کاملEnergy use by apartment tenants when landlords pay for utilities
Energy costs are included in the rent for many US apartments, giving tenants little incentive to conserve. This apparent market failure has two explanations: the tenants value the utility-included rental contracts more than they value the extra energy they consume, or the landlords value the contracts more than the cost of that extra energy. We use the Residential Energy Consumption Survey and ...
متن کاملFunctional k-sample problem when data are density functions
This paper deals with the k-sample problem for functional data when the observations are density functions. We introduce test procedures based on distances betweenpairs of density functions (L1 distance andHellinger distance, amongothers).A simulation study is carried out to compare the practical behaviour of the proposed tests. Theoretical derivations have been done in order to allow weighted ...
