225 Background: Existing data on patient satisfaction after radiotherapy (RT) is scarce. The specific aim of this analysis is to describe the clinical experience for cancer patients (pts) completing a course of RT at OHSU's Knight Cancer Institute.

We develop a Bayesian multivariate analysis of expert judgment elicited using an extended form of pair-wise comparisons. The method can be used to estimate the effect of multiple factors on the probability of an event and can be applied in risk analysis and other decision problems. The analysis provides variance predictions of the quantity of interest that incorporate dependencies amongst the v...

This study examines how the risk-taking incentive of top executives drives the strategic risk-taking in corporate IT implementation. We use the risk incentive provided in executive compensation to capture top executives’ risk-taking incentive, and develop measures of aggressive IT implementation to capture strategic risk-taking in IT implementation. Our analysis provides empirical evidence that...

However, its direct applicability to situations involving large degrees of uncertainty is less obvious and this raises the question of the extent to which social cost–benefit analysis can ...

In this paper we discuss a rigorous foundation of similarity reasoning based on the concept of utility. If utility is formulated in mathematical terms it can serve as a formal specification for a similarity system. However, utility can also be formulated in informal ways. We consider subjective versions, competing ones and those that change dynamically over time. These are illustrated by exampl...

It is increasingly recognized that business models offer an abstraction that is useful not only in the exploration of new business networks but also for the design and redesign of operational business processes. Among others, they can be used as input for a risk analysis that is crucial in cross-organizational business process design. However, the notion of value object is up till now not clear...

Injury prevention is one of the most important and urgent issues in children’s health since the primary cause of death of children is unintentional injury.
