Decision Making: P-value Method01:09

Decision Making: P-value Method

5.4K
The process of hypothesis testing based on the P-value method includes calculating the P- value using the sample data and interpreting it.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim  is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses:  a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Decision Making: Traditional Method

The process of hypothesis testing based on the traditional method includes calculating the critical value, testing the value of the test statistic using the sample data, and interpreting these values.
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...

Decision Making

112
Decision-making is a fundamental cognitive process that involves evaluating alternatives and selecting among them. This process can range from simple choices, such as deciding what to wear, to complex decisions, like choosing a major in college or a career path. The complexity of the decision often dictates the approach we use, which can be broadly categorized into two types: automatic and controlled decision-making.
Automatic decision-making is fast, intuitive, and relies on gut feelings...

Reason and Intuition

6.5K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Woodward–Hoffmann Selection Rules and Microscopic Reversibility

3.1K
Electrocyclic reactions, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic rearrangements are concerted pericyclic reactions that proceed via a cyclic transition state. These reactions are stereospecific and regioselective. The stereochemistry of the products depends on the symmetry characteristics of the interacting orbitals and the reaction conditions. Accordingly, pericyclic reactions are classified as either symmetry-allowed or symmetry-forbidden. Woodward and Hoffmann presented the selection criteria for...

Randomized Experiments

The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Area of Science:

  • Biostatistics
  • Precision Medicine
  • Decision Sciences

Background:

  • Precision medicine aims to tailor treatments to individuals.
  • Current methods for individualized decision rules (IDRs) primarily focus on maximizing expected outcomes.
  • There is a need for IDRs that also account for risk and potential adverse events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel robust criterion for estimating optimal individualized decision rules (IDRs).
  • To develop IDRs that control the average lower tail of individual outcomes, incorporating risk-averse decision-making.
  • To enhance individualized expected outcomes while preventing adverse events.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a new robust criterion based on conditional value at risk (CVaR) principles.
  • Formulated the optimal IDR as maximizing the "worst-case" scenario under distribution perturbations.
  • Proposed an efficient non-convex optimization algorithm with convergence guarantees.

Main Results:

  • The proposed criterion yields IDRs that improve expected outcomes and mitigate risks.
  • Theoretical properties, including consistency and finite sample error bounds, were investigated for the estimated IDRs.
  • Simulation studies and a real-data application demonstrated the robust performance of the developed methods.

Conclusions:

  • The new robust criterion offers a valuable approach for estimating IDRs in precision medicine.
  • The proposed method provides a balance between maximizing outcomes and controlling risks.
  • The developed algorithm and theoretical analysis support the practical application of these risk-aware IDRs.
