<p> In the context of a subjective binary medical decision based on a diagnostic test we propose and study a nonlinear hierarchical model. The model includes a latent propensity-to-disease effect for each item (e.g. patient mammogram, MRI, radiograph, ultra sound, etc) and two effects for each …

Assessing the economic case for stratified medicine
… efficacy, cost, and market size, within a decision-theoretic framework. The results include a characterization of the dynamic net present value trade-offs between stratum size and biomarker success, as well as the identification of two complementary concepts of stratified medicine, namely, …

Machine Learning in Consumer Credit: Legal, Economic, Ethical & Policy Implications
… intelligence will either inherently improve decision-making for the better or only result in harm to end-users. Through an interdisciplinary and multifaceted survey of economic, normative, policy, and legal issues, this thesis evaluates existing laws and proposes recommendations for future …

User-Centered Adaptive Information Retrieval
… for the personalized search. We develop a decision-theoretic framework for optimizing interactive information retrieval based on eager user model updating. The framework emphasizes immediate and frequent feedback to bring maximum benefit of context to the user. It serves as a roadmap for …

Matching in networks: fundamental limits and efficient algorithms
… complex networks. We base our study upon the decision-theoretic framework wherein an unknown structure underlies the network data. We aim to detect and recover this hidden structure based on partial or noisy observation. In particular, we focus on the problem of graph matching (network …

Enabling Dynamic Spectrum Access in 4G Networks and Beyond
… dissertation presents a Spectrum Accountability framework to be integrated into LTE+ MacroNet and HetNet architectures, defining specific element functionality, protocol interfaces, and signaling flow diagrams required to enforce the rights and responsibilities of primary and secondary users. We …

Bayes Multiple Decision Functions: Theory, Computation and Application
… problem of simultaneously making many (M) binary decisions based on one realization of a random data matrix X. M is typically large and X will usually have M rows associated with each of the M decisions to make, but for each row the data may be low dimensional. A Bayesian decision-theoretic …
