I call it expected utility tout court because the formula using conditional probabilities generalizes a simpler formula for expected utility that uses nonconditional probabilities of states.
Now, Friedmann and Carl Hagen, a theoretical physicist at U of R in New York, have found a surprisingly easy way to derive the formula using a three-page calculation involving the hydrogen atom.
In order to verify the correctness of the formula, using the finite element model, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the factors that affect the ultimate strength of the joints.
The formula using population parameters overestimated empirical accuracies by about 25%to30%0%, regardless of the genetic correlation between breeds.
It is interesting to note that the formula based on selection index theory provides a single accuracy for each selection candidate, while the formula using population parameters provides an accuracy that applies to all selection candidates of the same population.
In addition, for the calculation of WR, the formula using only the cardiac ROI from the early and delayed planar MIBG images (WR = (He − H1)/ He × 100) provided more reliable values than the formula including background correction.
