Provenance information provides a useful basis to verify whether a particular application behavior has been adhered to. This is particularly useful to evaluate the basis for a particular outcome, as a result of a process, and to verify if the process involved in making the decision con- forms to some predefined set of rules. This is significant in a healthcare scenario, where it is necessary …
Risk-sharing arrangements (RSAs), also known as managed entry agreements (MEAs), are often categorized as financial/non-health outcome or health outcome-based1. RSAs have been predominantly adopted in the pharmaceutical sector, though they are gaining traction also in the medical device industry, particularly in areas such as diabetes.
Econometrics is the branch of economics that draws heavily on statistics for testing and analyzing economic relationships. Within econometrics, there are theoretical econometricians who analyze statistical properties of estimators of models. Several recipients of the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences received the award as a result of their lifetime contribution to this branch of economics. …
