Experts use base rates in real-world sequential decisions. [PDF]
Human behavior is often assumed to be irrational, full of errors, and affected by cognitive biases. One of these biases is base-rate neglect, which happens when the base rates of a specific category are not considered when making decisions. We argue here

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.

This paper explores the extent to which term structure of individual credit default swap (CDS) spreads can be explained by the firm's rating. Using the Nelson–Siegel model, we construct, for each day, CDS curves from a cross-section of CDS spreads for each rating class.

BASE‐RATE NEGLECT AS A FUNCTION OF BASE RATES IN PROBABILISTIC CONTINGENCY LEARNING [PDF]
When humans predict criterion events based on probabilistic predictors, they often lend excessive weight to the predictor and insufficient weight to the base rate of the criterion event. In an operant analysis, using a matching‐to‐sample paradigm, Goodie and Fantino (1996) showed that humans exhibit base‐rate neglect when predictors are associated with

An independence test based on recurrence rates [PDF]
A new test of independence between random elements is presented in this article. The test is based on a functional of the Cramér-von Mises type, which is applied to a $U$-process that is defined from the recurrence rates. Theorems of asymptotic distribution under $H_{0},$ and consistency under a wide class of alternatives are obtained.

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 ...

Collaborative filtering and rating aggregation based on multicriteria rating [PDF]
Ratings by users on various items such as hotels and movies have become easily available on the Web. In many cases, other than overall rating for each item by each user, more detailed information such as ratings from different viewpoints and free text comments, as well as aggregated information such as the average of ratings by different users, are ...

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 ...

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 ...
