GPs are called to stand in the breach between their own (justified) uncertainty and their patients' wish for certainty. So the current uncertainties about the future of general practice, the need to adapt, and the directions for change are probably things most GPs take in their stride. This ...

In practice, we often have some partial information about the probability distributions which goes beyond these bounds. In this chapter, we show how the existing methods of estimating uncertainty can be extended to this generic case. 展开
. Although sentinel providers tend to work locally, in practice, surveillance data collected from local sentinel providers are aggregated to coarser geographical scales for public health use. In particular, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) releases ILI surveillance data at the...
The role of the hippocampus in decision-making is beginning to be more understood. Because of its prospective and inferential functions, we hypothesized that it might be required specifically when decisions involve the evaluation of uncertain values. A g
Home health care companies provide health care services to patients in their homes. Due to increasing demand, the provision of home health care services requires effective management of operational costs while satisfying both patients and caregivers. In practice, uncertain service times might lead to ...
And because green patent applications number of some enterprises is 0 in some years, the logarithm cannot be directly taken. In reference to the practice of other scholars, we add 1 before taking the logarithm. Dependent variables include green patents, green invention patents, green utility model...
