Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.4K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

The Bohr Model

80.9K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Prediction Intervals

3.4K
The interval estimate of any variable is known as the prediction interval. It helps decide if a point estimate is dependable.
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

The Quantum-Mechanical Model of an Atom

57.3K
Shortly after de Broglie published his ideas that the electron in a hydrogen atom could be better thought of as being a circular standing wave instead of a particle moving in quantized circular orbits, Erwin Schrödinger extended de Broglie’s work by deriving what is now known as the Schrödinger equation. When Schrödinger applied his equation to hydrogen-like atoms, he was able to reproduce Bohr’s expression for the energy and, thus, the Rydberg formula governing hydrogen spectra.

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Biostatistics
  • Computational Epidemiology

Background:

  • Predicting patient health outcomes from longitudinal data is crucial for effective healthcare.
  • Observational healthcare databases offer valuable patient-level data for predictive modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel Bayesian hierarchical vector autoregressive (VAR) model for predicting medical and psychological conditions.
  • To enhance prediction accuracy and interpretability of multivariate time series data in healthcare.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a Bayesian hierarchical vector autoregressive (VAR) model.
  • Utilized an elastic-net prior for improved variable association interpretability.
  • Applied the model to multivariate time series data from patient diaries.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model demonstrated higher accuracy in predicting future health observations (point and interval estimates) compared to patient-specific VAR models.
  • The hierarchical specification enabled a beneficial pooling effect.
  • The elastic-net prior enhanced interpretability of population-level, patient-level, and between-patient associations.

Conclusions:

  • The Bayesian hierarchical VAR model offers a powerful and interpretable approach for patient-level predictive modeling using longitudinal health data.
  • This method can be applied to diverse health outcomes, including substance use, mood disorders, and somatic symptoms.
