Perspectives And Best Practices For Artificial Intelligence And Continuously Learning Systems In Healthcare, Berkman Sahiner, Bruce Friedman, Cindi Linville, Cindy Ipach, Edna Montgomery, Eileen Steinle Alexander, Et Al. Jul 2018

Perspectives And Best Practices For Artificial Intelligence And Continuously Learning Systems In Healthcare, Berkman Sahiner, Bruce Friedman, Cindi Linville, Cindy Ipach, Edna Montgomery, Eileen Steinle Alexander, Et Al.

Faculty Scholarship

Goals of this paper Healthcare is often a late adopter when it comes to new techniques and technologies; this works to our advantage in the development of this paper as we relied on lessons learned from CLS in other industries to help guide the content of this paper. Appendix V includes a number of example use cases of AI in Healthcare and other industries. This paper focuses on identifying unique attributes, constraints and potential best practices towards what might represent “good” development for Continuously Learning Systems (CLS) AI systems with applications ranging from pharmaceutical applications for new drug development and …

Mirr: The Means To An End? Reinforcing Optimal Investment Decisions Using The Npv Rule, R. Brian Balyeat, Julie Cagel Apr 2015

Mirr: The Means To An End? Reinforcing Optimal Investment Decisions Using The Npv Rule, R. Brian Balyeat, Julie Cagel

Faculty Scholarship

Unlike other investment decision techniques, Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR) has yielded mixed academic opinions. MIRR is sometimes heralded as a superior decision rule, sometimes seen as having little value, and sometimes ignored altogether. We offer an alternative view; that the value of MIRR lays in improving students’ understanding of net present value (NPV) as the primary decision criteria for investment decisions. Results of a classroom experiment support MIRR’s pedagogical value for reinforcing the NPV rule.

Does Offering More Advanced Placement Courses Increase Enrollment?, Bree J. Lang Jan 2011

Does Offering More Advanced Placement Courses Increase Enrollment?, Bree J. Lang

Faculty Scholarship

This study utilizes a grant in California that required a group of high schools to increase the number of Advanced Placement(AP) courses offered to their students. The grant provides an arguably exogenous increase in the number of AP coursesoffered in a school. Using an instrumental variable approach, this analysis shows that offering an additional AP course doesnot increase total enrollment in AP courses. Instead, students substitute out of other AP subjects to enroll in the new subject being offered. This result suggests that additional AP course access is unlikely to induce students to enroll in more …


Shipping The Runners To The Race: A Sport Tourism Interpretation Of The Alchian-Allen Theorem, Steven Cobb, Douglas J. Olberding Nov 2010

Shipping The Runners To The Race: A Sport Tourism Interpretation Of The Alchian-Allen Theorem, Steven Cobb, Douglas J. Olberding

Faculty Scholarship

This paper provides empirical support for the Alchian and Allen "shipping the good apples out" hypothesis. The hypothesis version tested here involves estimating the effect of travel cost on the quality of a weekend trip to Cincinnati, where travel cost is measured by time spent in travel and visit quality is measured by the amount of discretionary spending associated with the trip. Using linear regression analysis on data from race participants in the 2008 Flying Pig marathon and half marathon races, strong and robust evidence is found to support the validity of this hypothesis. Specifically, travel distance does …

Further Evidence On The Dynamics Of Unemployment By Gender, Herve Queneau, Amit Sen Jan 2009

Further Evidence On The Dynamics Of Unemployment By Gender, Herve Queneau, Amit Sen

Faculty Scholarship

We present empirical evidence regarding differences in unemployment dynamics across gender for a group of twenty-three OECD countries. Our results indicate that there are substantial differences in the unemployment persistence for men and women across countries. Further, the female unemployment rates are relatively more persistent compared to the male unemployment rates.

The Importance Of Import Substitution In Marathon Economic Impact Analysis, Steven Cobb, Douglas J. Olberding May 2007

The Importance Of Import Substitution In Marathon Economic Impact Analysis, Steven Cobb, Douglas J. Olberding

Faculty Scholarship

Marathon running has experienced considerable growth in recent years, fueled both by an increase in participation rates and by a corresponding increase in the number marathons staged each year. Because marathons have a presumed economicbenefit, there also has been growth in the number of marathon-related economic impact studies. However, these studies calculate incorrectly, or omit altogether, an important source of impact: the impact generated when local runners use their home-city marathon as a substitute for participating in an alternative marathon out-of-town. Given that this pattern of behavior is common among marathon runners and the fact that local …
