The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.8K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.2K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Hindsight Biases

4.3K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Bias01:22

Bias

7.4K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Adjusting a Traverse01:12

Adjusting a Traverse

382
In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...

Correspondence Bias01:17

Correspondence Bias

225
Correspondence bias, also referred to as the fundamental attribution error, describes the tendency to attribute another person’s behavior to internal characteristics rather than situational influences. This cognitive bias leads individuals to overlook external factors that may be influencing actions, thereby fostering potentially inaccurate assessments of others’ intentions and dispositions.Empirical Evidence for Correspondence BiasResearch has consistently demonstrated the...

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Trials Methodology
  • Biostatistics
  • Statistical Inference

Background:

  • Differential treatment effects across subpopulations can lead to overinterpretation of extreme results in clinical trials.
  • Accurate assessment of uncertainty is crucial for reliable clinical trial interpretation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss methods for adjusting treatment effect estimates in clinical trials with suspected differential subpopulation effects.
  • To focus on constructing simultaneous confidence intervals for a realistic assessment of uncertainty in extreme results.
  • To compare simultaneous inference methods with Bayesian hierarchical models.

Main Methods:

  • Development and discussion of methods for adjusting treatment effect estimates.
  • Construction of simultaneous confidence intervals.
  • Comparison with shrinkage estimates from Bayesian hierarchical models.

Main Results:

  • Simultaneous confidence intervals offer a more realistic assessment of uncertainty around extreme subpopulation treatment effects.
  • Bayesian hierarchical models provide an alternative approach using shrinkage estimates.

Conclusions:

  • The paper provides a comparative analysis of simultaneous inference and Bayesian methods for handling differential treatment effects.
  • Choosing the appropriate method depends on the specific application and desired assessment of uncertainty.
