Confidence intervals of prediction accuracy measures for multivariable prediction models based on the bootstrap-based optimism correction methods

open access: yes, 2021
In assessing prediction accuracy of multivariable prediction models, optimism corrections are essential for preventing biased results. However, in most published papers of clinical prediction models, the point estimates of the prediction accuracy ...

Adaptation, Anticipation-Bias and Optimal Income Taxation [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
Adaptation is omnipresent but people systematically fail to correctly anticipate the degree to which they adapt. This leads individuals to make inefficient intertemporal decisions. This paper concerns optimal income taxation to correct for such anticipation-biases in a framework where consumers adapt to earlier consumption levels through a habit ...

The optimism bias [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2011
SummaryThe ability to anticipate is a hallmark of cognition. Inferences about what will occur in the future are critical to decision making, enabling us to prepare our actions so as to avoid harm and gain reward. Given the importance of these future projections, one might expect the brain to possess accurate, unbiased foresight.

Staying over-optimistic about the future : uncovering attentional biases to climate change messages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
There is considerable concern that the public are not getting the message about climate change. One possible explanation is ‘optimism bias’, where individuals overestimate the likelihood of positive events happening to them and underestimate the ...

Can hierarchical predictive coding explain binocular rivalry? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Hohwy et al.’s (2008) model of binocular rivalry (BR) is taken as a classic illustration of predictive coding’s explanatory power. I revisit the account and show that it cannot explain the role of reward in BR.

The Influence of Optimism Bias on Time and Cost on Construction Projects

open access: yes, 2021
The unresolved scholarly debate to curtail cost and time performances in projects has led to alternate solutions, departing from the dominant technical school of thought to include concepts from behavioural sciences.

The Human Element of Decision Making in Systems Engineers: A Focus on Optimism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Biases continue to be an important aspect of human judgment and decision making because they can lead to unfavorable outcomes. Optimism bias is one type of bias that is often overlooked because of its association with good health and positive outcomes ...

Can the visualization of rip currents prevent drowning accidents? Consideration of the effect of optimism bias

open access: yesNatural Hazards, 2021
Drowning accidents at beach in Japan are caused by rip currents. To reduce these accidents, a new technology that can detect rip currents and notify beachgoers by using the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) was proposed.
