Cost-effectiveness analysis of alectinib versus crizotinib in first-line treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer

open access: yesGlobal & Regional Health Technology Assessment, 2019
In the randomized, active-controlled, multicenter Phase III open-label ALEX trial, alectinib showed superior efficacy and lower toxicity compared with crizotinib in the primary treatment of anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer ...

Dynamically consistent Choquet random walk and real investments [PDF]

open access: yes
In the real investments literature, the investigated cash flow is assumed to follow some known stochastic process (e.g. Brownian motion) and the criterion to decide between investments is the discounted utility of their cash flows.

Evaluating Urban Park Utility in Seoul: A Distance-to-Area Discounting Model

open access: yesLand
This study proposes a novel method to assess urban park accessibility by incorporating perceived utility based on both park area and distance. Departing from conventional models that treat accessibility as a function of geometric proximity alone, we define park utility as a distance-discounted benefit of park area, thereby allowing for a more ...

Maximizing Banking Profit on a Random Time Interval

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2007
We study the stochastic dynamics of banking items such as assets, capital, liabilities and profit. A consideration of these items leads to the formulation of a maximization problem that involves endogenous variables such as depository consumption, the ...

Climate Policy under Sustainable Discounted Utilitarianism [PDF]

open access: yes
Empirical evaluation of policies to mitigate climate change has been largely confined to the application of discounted utilitarianism (DU). DU is controversial, both due to the conditions through which it is justified and due to its consequences for ...

Encoding of Marginal Utility across Time in the Human Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Marginal utility theory prescribes the relationship between the objective property of the magnitude of rewards and their subjective value. Despite its pervasive influence, however, there is remarkably little direct empirical evidence for such a theory of

Predicting utility under satiation and habituation [PDF]

open access: yes
We introduce a modification of the discounted utility model that accounts for both habituation and satiation in intertemporal choice. Habituation level and satiation level are state variables that induce changes in preferences as those states vary.
