Cost-effectiveness of asthma control: an economic appraisal of the GOAL study [PDF]

, 2006
<i>Background</i>: The Gaining Optimal Asthma ControL (GOAL) study has shown the superiority of a combination of salmeterol/fluticasone propionate (SFC) compared with fluticasone propionate alone (FP) in terms of improving guideline defined ...

Robust normalization and guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain singular Markovian jump systems via hybrid impulsive control [PDF]

, 2013
This paper investigates the problem of robust normalization and guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain singular Markovian jump systems. The uncertainties exhibit in both system matrices and transition rate matrix of the Markovian chain.

The cost of antibiotic mass drug administration for trachoma control in a remote area of South Sudan. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Mass drug administration (MDA) of antibiotics is a key component of the so-called "SAFE" strategy for trachoma control, while MDA of anthelminthics provides the cornerstone for control of a number of other neglected tropical diseases (NTDs ...

Using and interpreting cost-effectiveness acceptability curves: an example using data from a trial of management strategies for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2006
Background: The cost-effectiveness acceptability curve (CEAC) is a method for summarizing the uncertainty in estimates of cost-effectiveness. The CEAC, derived from the joint distribution of costs and effects, illustrates the (Bayesian) probability ...

Distrust – the Hidden Cost of Control [PDF]

, 2004
We show experimentally that a principal’s distrust in the voluntary performance of an agenthas a negative impact on the agent’s motivation to perform well. Before the agent chooseshis performance, the principal in our experiment decides whether he wants to restrict theagents’ choice set by implementing a minimum performance level for the agent.

Overlapping guaranteed cost control for uncertain discrete-time systems [PDF]

, 2004
Robust overlapping guaranteed cost control problem is presented for a class of state-delayed discrete-time systems. Unknown arbitrarily time-varying uncertainties with given known bounds are considered. Conditions preserving closed-loop systems expansion-
