In [40], it has been shown that empowerment as a utility is consistent with specialized measures of favourable system states and that it also attracts an agent e.g. to world states where manipulable objects are present in simple grid worlds.
Our findings that VOT testing helped to optimize NIRS diagnostic utility are consistent with the rationale that measuring the body's capacity to reoxygenate tissue in response to the physiological perturbation of induced ischemia is a valid method of assessing an individual's physiological function and reserve capacity.
The previously reported BSC utility values are consistent with the nonsignificantly different baseline utility values reported here for regorafenib and BSC of 0.779 and 0.751, respectively, as well as the utility value obtained from the combined PF data set of 0.769 SD 0.2266).
The acute health state representing a year in which ACS occurs also had a relatively low utility (0.67), while the chronic ACS health state had a notably higher utility, which is consistent with clinicians' descriptions of the strong recovery often observed in patients experiencing an ACS.
The higher utility would be consistent with more good schools choosing to search in the experienced teacher market, which in turn will lead to a higher probability of good teachers successfully matching with good schools.
