Prior studies have shown that information about health hazards may shift demand downward, because consumers devaluate the affected product attribute, while overlooking the effect of such information on attribute importance weights, implicitly considering them to be stable.
We obtained the public version of the NDF-RT (accessed 2 May 2012) and extracted information on indications (attributes may_prevent, may_treat, and induces) and contraindications (attribute CI_with) for drugs and diseases included in our drug and disease thesaurus, respectively.
We do not aim to preserve the confidentiality of attributes in general, i.e., CPIs may still leak information on single attributes such as their frequency distribution.
To quantify the importance of this form of bias in modern peer review, we analyze three datasets providing information on the attributes of authors and reviewers and review outcomes: one from Frontiers - an open access publishing house with a novel interactive review process, and two from Spanish and international computer science conferences, which use traditional peer review.
The information on all attributes is quantitative.
Table 2 has detailed information on the attributes of the test computer systems.
Information on player attributes is often available, but seldom incorporated to establish link weights [45].
Reversing land degradation requires sustainable land use planning which should be based on detailed up-to-date information on landscape attributes.
A fundamental assumption in this theory is that objects are perceived through, and thus can be represented by, available information on their attributes, but such information may not be sufficient to characterize these objects exactly.
However, we declare that the information on households attributes as contained in this study has been elicited with consents of the study participants for the purpose of this research and that the study has in no way used the defamatory word(s) against the study participants.
