Bayesian modeling speed-accuracy trade-off data: evidence from the response deadline procedure

2018-05-10
The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT), defined as a tendency to trade response time for accuracy and vice versa, is a common problem in two-choice decision tasks. Employing a response deadline procedure provides a full time-course function which describes how cognitive processing unfolds over time. The response deadline procedure allows unbiased estimates of accuracy and speed independent from each other by signalling participants to respond in a controlled condition. In this investigation, a Bayesian model is proposed to estimate the accuracy and speed parametersof SAT functions obtained from the response deadline procedure. The proposed model is derived from a Bayesian signal detection framework and defines accuracy as an exponential growth function of total processing time. The proposed model was applied to both hypothetical and perceptual data sets, and the obtained parameter estimates were evaluated for validity. The findings suggest that the proposed Bayesian framework can provide an effective approach to model SAT curves.

Delay Risk Assessment of Repetitive Construction Projects Using Line-of-Balance Scheduling and Monte Carlo Simulation
Tokdemir, Onur Behzat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2019-02-01)
Although the line-of-balance (LOB) method is widely used for the scheduling of repetitive construction projects, there are only a limited number of studies that deal with the issue of how to incorporate uncertainty in repetitive schedules. In this paper, a delay risk assessment method is proposed for projects scheduled by LOB. In the proposed method, a LOB schedule is prepared considering the target rate of delivery, and then risk scenarios are defined considering the sources of uncertainty and vulnerabilit...
Estimating the form of a decision maker's preference function and converging towards preferred solutions
Karakaya, Gülşah (Informa UK Limited, 2019-10-31)
Preference functions have been widely used to scalarize multiple objectives. Various forms such as linear, quasiconcave, or general monotone have been assumed. In this article, we consider a general family of functions that can take a variety of forms and has properties that allow for estimating the form efficiently. We exploit these properties to estimate the form of the function and converge towards a preferred solution(s). We develop the theory and algorithms to efficiently estimate the parameters of the...
Performance improvement of vlsi circuits with clock scheduling
Kapucu, Kerem; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
Clock scheduling is studied to improve the performance of synchronous sequential circuits. The performance improvement covers the optimization of the clock frequency and the peak power consumption, separately. For clock period minimization, cycle stealing method is utilized, in which the redundant cycle time of fast combinational logic is transferred to slower logic by proper clock skew adjustment of registers. The clock scheduling system determines the minimum clock period that a synchronous sequential cir...
Uniform Parallel machine scheduling with family set-up times
Tamer, Meral; Azizoğlu, Meral; Azizoğlu, Meral; Department of Industrial Engineering (2003)
In this study, we address the scheduling problem of uniform parallel machines with family set-up times so as to minimize the total completion time. We develop a branch and jound algorithm that employs an efficient branching scheme. A bounding mechanism is jroposed to increase the efficiency of this algorithm. Our computational experiment shows hat the optimal solution is found in reasonable CPU times up to 15 jobs. Further experiments »re conducted to test the bounding mechanisms and this experiment indicat...
