Presumably correct decision sets

Make the correct decision mutually.

I am excited to have you read this month’s PointCounterpoint feature. The topic is “Congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors: Substitution vs restoration.” I invited 2 experienced teams to discuss this topic from 2 perspectives. Each team did an outstanding job in presenting their arguments favoring one approach or the other. And I am certain that, as you read the Point and then the Coun...

Correct acceptance weighs more than correct rejection: a decision bias induced by question framing.

We propose that in attempting to detect whether an effect exists or not, people set their decision criterion so as to increase the number of hits and decrease the number of misses, at the cost of increasing false alarms and decreasing correct rejections. As a result, we argue, if one of two complementary events is framed as the positive response to a question and the other as the negative respo...

Rough Sets and Decision Algorithms

Rough set based data analysis starts from a data table, called an information system. The information system contains data about objects of interest characterized in terms of some attributes. Often we distinguish in the inform* tion system condition and decision attributes. Such information system is called a decision table. The decision table describes decisions in terms of conditions that mus...
