Ratio Bias Across Cultures and Disciplines: How Academic Background Shapes Statistical Decision‐Making

Baumeister, Jochen; Streicher, Bernhard; Lermer, Eva - In: Journal of Behavioral Decision Making 38 (2025) 1

Ratios are an instrumental component of the communication of probabilities such as COVID incidence rates, side effects of medical drugs, or political decision‐making; hence, they are a critical component of an individual's statistical decision‐making. Research on the ratio bias has shown...

Methods for developing and validating survivability distributions

Williams, R.L. - 2008

A previous report explored and discussed statistical methods and procedures that may be applied to validate the survivability of a complex system of systems that cannot be tested as an entity. It described a methodology where Monte Carlo simulation was used to develop the system survivability...
