The decision evaluation scales

The decision evaluation scales.

There are several instruments to assess how patients evaluate their medical treatment choice. These are used to evaluate decision aids. Our objective is to investigate which psychological factors play a role when patients evaluate their medical treatment choices. A pool of 36 items was constructed, covering concepts such as uncertainty about and satisfaction with the decision, informed choice, ...

Multiscale Decision-Making: Bridging Organizational Scales

Decision-making in organizations is complex due to interdependencies among decision-makers (agents) within and across organizational hierarchies. We propose a multiscale decision-making model that captures and analyzes multiscale agent interactions in large, distributed decision-making systems. In general, multiscale systems exhibit phenomena that are coupled through various temporal, spatial a...

Cardinal Scales for Health Evaluation

P studies often evaluate health for an individual or for a population by using measurement scales that are ordinal scales or expected-utility scales. This paper develops scales of a different type, commonly called cardinal scales, that measure changes in health. Also, we argue that cardinal scales provide a meaningful and useful means of evaluating health policies. Thus, we develop a means of u...

The Design and Evaluation of Color Scales for Image Data the Design and Evaluation of Color Scales for Image Data

The representation of a parameter in a two-dimensional image using color is discussed. Desirable properties of color scales are stated. The notion of an optimal color scale is introduced and the development of a particular optimal color scale is described; restrictions on the order of colors in an optimal color scale are stated and an algorithm is presented to search for scales that obey those ...
