Findings suggest index-based landscape valuations could suffer from spurious inferential correlations when landscape-calculated sub-metrics (i.e., proportion agricultural land) are included within evaluation indices.
Mean EQ-5D valuation index values decreased compared with baseline at Week 24 (indicating worsening of health status) in the simeprevir/PR and placebo/PR groups in both studies (PILLAR: −0.14, −0.13; ASPIRE: −0.13, −0.14, respectively) with no relevant differences between treatment groups.
It offers each expert rational valuation vector about the evaluation indexes, which ensures objective assignment of the index weights when the experts hold different opinions.
3) Determination of expert weight: r i and r j denote the rational valuation vectors about the evaluation indexes of the i th and j th experts, respectively, so the equations are r i = (r ik ) and r j = (r jk ).
This paper proposes a valuation index for degree of proficiency, and shows results of motor skill analysis for several arm reaching tasks.
The question arises as to whether the Valuation Index treats the views of the different people in the survey sample impartially or not.
While the sample mean might seem the obvious choice, a number of influential safety studies have employed a more complicated metric, the Valuation Index, as discussed within, to assess whether more should be spent to protect against some hazards than others.
For this study, the UK tariffs were used to assign population preference weights to the EQ-5D domains to produce the EQ-5D valuation index scores analyzed [ 35].
Descriptive statistics of the actual values and the changes from baseline (for EQ-5D VAS and valuation index) were generated per time point.
The five domains were summarized using a descriptive system and as one single value, the EQ-5D valuation index (range 0 1).
