How valuable would it be to evaluate the prosocial behavior intervention developed by Baumsteiger (2019) in a large randomized controlled trial? | Falk Lieder | Observable
I am now importing the stylesheet, but I don't understand what you mean by "run it". If you can help patch up the notebook, that would be great. I didn't copy directly from your other notebooks because I want to avoid scaring readers with code they don't understand. I am therefore trying to "hide" the technicalities in the notebooks I am important from.
I am already citing Howard and your EA Forum post. Did you see anything in my equations that is not covered by those sources? I am accustomed to academic writing where citing Wikipedia is not an option.
Technically, the expected change in ce is the value of perfect information. This figure seems to represent the amount of extra good we can do with a given budget with the information. (If the information cost was 0)
Heitjan et al. (1999) argue that the vector (effectiveness, cost) can be assumed to follow a bivariate normal distribution. Under this assumption, the cost-effectiveness would follow the ratio distribution derived by Hinkley (1969).
