Regulator Loss Functions and Hierarchical Modeling for Safety Decision Making.
BACKGROUND Regulators must act to protect the public when evidence indicates safety problems with medical devices. This requires complex tradeoffs among risks and benefits, which conventional safety surveillance methods do not incorporate. OBJECTIVE To combine explicit regulator loss functions with statistical evidence on medical device safety signals to improve decision making. METHODS In ...
متن کاملA simple approach to multiple attribute decision making using loss functions
Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods are very much essential in all fields of engineering, management and other areas where limited alternatives exist and the decision maker has to select the best alternative. Different methods are available in the literature to tackle the MADM problems. The MADM problems are classified as scoring methods, compromising methods and concordance metho...
متن کاملDecision Making with Side Information and Unbounded Loss Functions
We consider the problem of decision-making with side information and unbounded loss functions. Inspired by probably approximately correct learning model, we use a slightly different model that incorporates the notion of side information in a more generic form to make it applicable to a broader class of applications including parameter estimation and system identification. We address sufficient ...
متن کاملHierarchical Decision Making
Decision making must be made within an appropriate context; we contend that such context is best represented by a hierarchy of states. The lowest levels of this hierarchy represent the observed raw data, or specific low-level behaviors and decisions. As we ascend the hierarchy, the states become increasingly abstract, representing higher order tactics, strategies, and over-arching mission goals...
متن کاملHierarchical Bayesian Modeling of Human Decision-Making Using Wiener Diffusion
Wiener diffusion accounts of human decision-making are among the most successful and best developed formal models in the psychological sciences. We reconsider these models from a Bayesian perspective, using graphical modeling, and Markov Chain Monte-Carlo methods for posterior sampling. By analyzing seminal data from a brightness discrimination task, we show how the Bayesian approach offers sev...
