Base-rate neglect based on base-rates in experience-based contingency learning [PDF]
Predicting criterion events based on probabilistic predictor events, humans often lend excessive weight to predictor event information and insufficient weight to criterion event base-rates. Using the matching-to-sample paradigm established in studies on experience-based contingency learning in animals, Goodie and Fantino (1996) showed that human judges

Contingency inferences driven by base rates: Valid by sampling [PDF]
Fiedler et al. (2009), reviewed evidence for the utilization of a contingency inference strategy termed pseudocontingencies (PCs). In PCs, the more frequent levels (and, by implication, the less frequent levels) are assumed to be associated.

Base-rate training without case cues reduces base-rate neglect [PDF]
Base-rate neglect is a persistent phenomenon in which subjects do not place sufficient weight on the probabilities of occurrence of relevant events. Two experiments with college students support the hypothesis that base-rate neglect may be minimized by providing base-rate training in the absence of case, or witness, cues, prior to introducing (or ...

Interest Rate Volatility: A Consol Rate-Based Measure [PDF]
In this paper we propose a new methodology to estimate the volatility of interest rates in the euro area money market. In particular, our approach aims at avoiding the limitations of currently available measures, i.e. the dependency on arbitrary choices in terms of maturity and frequencies and/or of factors other than pure interest rates, e.g.

Model-based fMRI reveals dissimilarity processes underlying base rate neglect
Extensive evidence suggests that people use base rate information inconsistently in decision making. A classic example is the inverse base rate effect (IBRE), whereby participants classify ambiguous stimuli sharing features of both common and rare ...

Towards a deployment tool for wireless access networks with minimal power consumption [PDF]
The power consumption of wireless access networks will become an important issue in the coming years. In this paper, the power consumption of base stations for mobile WiMAX, HSPA, and LTE is modelled.

False positives and false negatives in neuropsychological assessment can occur due to different reasons and they could have serious consequences such as the administration of an unnecessary treatment that may cause adverse effects and failure to provide ...

Statistical Approach for Computing Base Flow Rates in Gaged Rivers and Hydropower Effect Analysis
The calculation of base flow rates in rivers is complex since hydrogeological and hydrological studies should be performed. The estimation of base flow rates in storm hydrograph associated to various return periods is even more challenging compared to ...

On the very long term evolutionary behavior of hydrogen-accreting Low-Mass CO white dwarfs [PDF]
Hydrogen-rich matter has been added to a CO white dwarf of initial mass 0.516 \msun at the rates $10^{-8}$ and $2\times 10^{-8}$ \msun \yrm1, and results are compared with those for a white dwarf of the same initial mass which accretes pure helium at the

Patients’ beliefs about the effectiveness of their treatments are key to the success of any intervention. However, since these beliefs are usually formed by sequentially accumulating evidence in the form of the covariation between the treatment use and ...
