National Institute Economic Review, 2009
We are all impatient to know what is going on in the economy ‘right now’. But given the delays in the publication of official data, effectively economists are driving looking through the rear-view mirror as they do not know where the economy is until they have driven well past it.

Effect of Confidence Indicators on Trust in AI-Generated Profiles

Extended Abstracts of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2020
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly augmenting and generating online content, but research suggests that users distrust content which they believe to be AI-generated. In this paper, we study whether introducing a confidence indicator, a text rating of an algorithm's confidence in its source data alongside rationale for why the data is more or ...

Social Indicators Research, 1995
Consumer Confidence Indexes can be sensibly used in economic and social research conducted in theoretical and methodological framework of social indicators research. They are good predictors of other attitudes, such as voting preferences. Voting preferences are determined much more strongly by expectations of changes in economic conditions than by ...

Comparing Confidence Intervals for Multivariate Process Capability Indices

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2011
Multivariate process capability indices (MPCIs) are needed for process capability analysis when the quality of a process is determined by several univariate quality characteristics that are correlated. There are several different MPCIs described in the literature, but confidence intervals have been derived for only a handful of these.

Sectoral Survey-based Confidence Indicators for Europe

2011
In this paper we analyze a novel dataset of Business and Consumer Surveys, using dynamic factor techniques, to produce composite coincident indices (CCIs) at the sectoral level for the European countries and for Europe as a whole. Few CCIs are available for Europe compared to the US, and most of them use macroeconomic variables and focus on aggregate ...

PRODUCIBILITY AND CONFIDENCE INDICES DURING DEFENSE ACQUISITION

SAE Technical Paper Series, 2011
<title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>Given the complex nature of systems today, systems engineering’s primary focus is typically consumed with optimizing function and performance. This condition often causes producibility and cost to become an after-thought,

Confidence of Indicators of Mine Presence

2015
Indicators of mine presence and absence are the main objects on the scene that need to be detected and spatialy positioned for the purpose of conducting quality aerial non- technical survey of suspected hazardous areas (SHA). Detection of these indicators on the images of the observed scene and positioning of the existing indicators from the mine ...

Bootstrap Lower Confidence Limits for Capability Indices

Journal of Quality Technology, 1992
The indices Cp, Cpk, and Cpm are widely used to estimate whether a process is capable. Recently, techniques and tables were developed to construct lower 95% confidence limits for each index. These techniques, however, assume the underlying process is no..

Confidence as an Economic Indicator: A Cultural Ecology Parenthesis

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
In previous research endeavours on national economic development, almost no studies exist on how regional confidence can influence its industrial and economic well-being. Therefore, this paper provides a cultural ecology parenthesis, which integrates climatic, geographic, and genetic factors to spell out the forces of confidence on the national ...

The quest for the best consumer confidence indicator [PDF]

, 2009
Out of 11 questions included in the EU harmonised consumer questionnaire, it is possible to construct 2 047 different consumer confidence indicators. We search through all these indicators in order to find the single indicator that has the highest correlation with private consumption growth.
