Values-Informed Research and Research-Informed Values
2019Abstract While social work must be evaluative in relation to its diverse areas of practice and research (i.e., values-informed research), the purpose of this chapter is to propose that values are within the scope of research and therefore research on practice should make values a legitimate object of investigation (i.e., research ...

The Value of the Value of Information
Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 1999An important application of decision analysis is determining the value that information has to a decision maker. The expected value of information (EVOI) is the expected increase in the value (or decrease in the loss) associated with obtaining more information about quantities relevant to the decision process. The EVOI can be thought of as a measure of

Value of Information Lotteries
IEEE Transactions on Systems Science and Cybernetics, 1967The essence of decision-making is understanding the economic impact of uncertainty. In this paper a previous discussion of information value theory is extended to illustrate how the availability of information on the uncertain factors of a problem affects the probability density function of profit, the profit lottery.

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2005
For models of the use of advanced travel information services (ATISs) and their effect on traveler behavior to be realistic from a behavioral point of view, conceptualizations of travelers’ perceptions of the value of information must be valid. This paper presents a formulation of perceived information value based on the idea that travelers face ...

Mutations and the value of information
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1979Abstract On the basis of the literary data the relative probabilities of the point mutations are evaluated in the proteins and in RNA's. The relative probabilities of the nonsense mutations are estimated. The probability of the nonsense mutation of the codon UGG (Trp) is especially high.

On the value of temporal information in information retrieval
ACM SIGIR Forum, 2007Time is an important dimension of any information space and can be very useful in information retrieval. Current information retrieval systems and applications do not take advantage of all the time information available in the content of documents to provide better search results and user experience.

The Value of Information in Negotiations with Incomplete Information
2006 International Conference on Information Technology: Research and Education, 2006The paper considers bilateral negotiations between a buyer agent and a seller agent, where incomplete information exists on the reservation price of both agents. We analyzed a symmetrical negotiation model in which delay is the only signalling device.

The Value of Value of Information
PharmacoEconomics, 2010Value of information (VOI) methods have been proposed as a systematic approach to inform optimal research design and prioritization. Four related questions arise that VOI methods could address. (i) Is further research for a health technology assessment (HTA) potentially worthwhile?

Components of Portfolio Value of Information
Decision Analysis, 2013Decision analysis is often employed in portfolio management. The portfolio management process consists primarily of valuation (including uncertainty quantification or risk assessment) and prioritization/selection, which are based on the results of valuation. In this paper, we quantify the relative value of these components using a value of information
