Sometimes people prefer accurate decisions, and other times easy, fast, justifiable, etc. Decision goals are extremely important because they dictate (partly) the choice of decision strategies, which in turn affects what is chosen.
Non-inferiority analyses are designed to show that one treatment is non-inferior to another treatment in achieving the primary endpoint (e.g. A1C goals) by incorporating a justifiable non-inferiority margin (0.3 to 0.4%) 1.
While there may be some residual effects from the attached probe, we felt it was a justifiable limitation to facilitate our long-term goal of integrating skin perfusion measures with interface pressure measures to develop a comprehensive assessment of wheelchair configurations.
In high school, this somewhat paranoid sense of comparison was justifiable because everyone was striving for the same goal: to get into college.
Although the use of higher oxygen concentration in sick neonates in HO and MO groups seemed justifiable at the admission, there was no targeted SpO2 goal observed to wean the inspired O2 concentrations despite of the decrement in respiratory severity scores.
The statistics of this study revealed that approximately half of 3-6-years old study population suffered from dental caries in their primary dentition, hence, it is justifiable to state that we are in line with WHO/FDI goals for 2000, i.e. 50% of 5-6-years old children should be caries free [ 16].
Importantly, the FDA authors pointed out that while evaluating safe dose is the primary goal of FIH trial, sub-therapeutic doses are not medically justifiable in patients with cancer; therefore, optimization of the FIH trial designs to allow rapid attainment of active therapeutic doses is also important (Saber et al., 2016).
Rather, the deontologist will claim, it reflects the fact that it is morally legitimate (perhaps, again, because justifiable in second-order impartialist terms) for an agent to regard her own goals and interests as especially important to her.
