Shared Premises, Different Conclusions

Drawing Sound Conclusions from Unsound Premises

Given sets Φ1 = {φ11, . . . , φ1u(1)}, . . . ,Φz = {φz1, . . . , φzu(z)} of boolean formulas, a formula ω follows from the conjunction ∧ Φi = ∧ φij iff ¬ω ∧ ∧z i=1 Φi is unsatisfiable. Now assume that, given integers 0 ≤ ei < u(i), we must check if ¬ω ∧ ∧z i=1 Φ ′ i remains unsatisfiable, where Φ ′ i ⊆ Φi is obtained by deleting ei arbitrarily chosen formulas of Φi, for each i = 1, . . . , z. I...

Meta-analysis: different methods--different conclusions?

Different estimation methods for covariance parameters in meta-analyses can result in conflicting p-values concerning the test of treatment effect. We propose a valid method to overcome this problem at least partially by introducing a new estimator for the standard deviation of the common treatment difference.

Several Simple Shared Stable Decision Premises for Technochange

This study explores decision premises that were used to manage and stabilise a complex technochange programme in a financial institution. Decision premises were extracted from business maxims, principles and rules using linguistic techniques. In the paper, the premises are juxtaposed with their consequences. The evidence of documents, observable practices and software configurations supports th...
