Bayes Factors for Forensic Decision Analyses with R provides a self-contained introduction to computational Bayesian statistics using R. With its primary focus on Bayes factors supported by data sets, this book features an operational perspective, practical relevance, and applicability¿keeping theoretical and philosophical justifications limited. It offers a balanced approach to three naturally interrelated topics:Probabilistic Inference - Relies on the core concept of Bayesian inferential statistics, to help practicing forensic scientists in the logical and balanced evaluation of the weight of evidence.Decision Making - Features how Bayes factors are interpreted in practical applications to help address questions of decision analysis involving the use of forensic science in the law.Operational Relevance - Combines inference and decision, backed up with practical examples and complete sample code in R, including sensitivity analyses and discussion on how to interpret results in context.Over the past decades, probabilistic methods have established a firm position as a reference approach for the management of uncertainty in virtually all areas of science, including forensic science, with Bayes' theorem providing the fundamental logical tenet for assessing how new information¿scientific evidence¿ought to be weighed. Central to this approach is the Bayes factor, which clarifies the evidential meaning of new information, by providing a measure of the change in the odds in favor of a proposition of interest, when going from the prior to the posterior distribution. Bayes factors should guide the scientist's thinking about the value of scientific evidence and form the basis of logical and balanced reporting practices, thus representing essential foundations for rational decision making under uncertainty.This book would be relevant to students, practitioners, and applied statisticiansinterested in inference and decision analyses in the critical field of forensic science. It could be used to support practical courses on Bayesian statistics and decision theory at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and will be of equal interest to forensic scientists and practitioners of Bayesian statistics for driving their evaluations and the use of R for their purposes.This book is Open Access.

Die Digitalisierung der meisten Branchen spiegelt sich in einem wachsenden Anteil der Software an der Gesamtwertschöpfung wider. Unternehmen eröffnen sich dadurch neue Möglichkeiten für technologische Innovationen. Gleichzeitig stehen sie aber vor der ständigen Herausforderung, diese Innovationen in Produkte zu überführen, die für den Kunden wertstiftend sind. Dieser Problemstellung widmeten sich bereits eine Reihe an Methoden zur Produkt- und Geschäftsmodellinnovation, die Überführung der hier gewonnenen Erkenntnisse in die konkrete Produktgestaltung bleibt jedoch eine Herausforderung.Genau hier setzt diese Arbeit an, indem sie die methodische Vorgehensweise ¿Value Proposition Deployment¿ vorschlägt, mit der Unternehmen auf Basis technologischer Innovationen neue Wertversprechen entwickeln können. Hierzu verbindet das Value Proposition Deployment Erkenntnisse des Innovationsmanagements mit Methoden der konstruktiven Qualitätssicherung und stellt somit eine Brücke zwischen Innovations- und Qualitätsmanagement dar. Die auf Basis von 15 praxisrelevanten Gestaltungsanforderungen entwickelte Methode wird detailliert erläutert und anhand praxisnaher Fallbeispiele beschrieben.

Der Markt für IT-Dienstleistungen wächst, der Trend zur Verlagerung auf externe Anbieter setzt sich ebenfalls fort. Hersteller, Händler, Lieferanten und Dienstleister verwenden AGB, die häufig im rechtlichen Graubereich liegen und damit für alle Seiten große Risiken in sich bergen. Besonders für Nicht-Juristen bietet dieses Buch eine verständliche Grundlage zur Überprüfung, Verhandlung und Gestaltung von AGB-Klauseln im IT-Umfeld.Die 7. Auflage berücksichtigt die aktuelle Rechtsprechung und deren Präzisierung durch Literatur und Praxis. Stellungnahmen zu vorhandenen Klauseln wurden angepasst und neue Klauseln aufgenommen, zum Beispiel zu Service Level Agreements (SLA), Preisanpassungen, Programmsperren sowie zur Nutzung von Artificial Intelligence (Künstlicher Intelligenz). Zudem wurden der Text und das Sachregister an vielen Stellen überarbeitet und ergänzt.

Der parallele Einsatz von zentraler IT und Schatten-IT in Unternehmen führt zu ungewollten Redundanzen in der Unternehmensarchitektur. Eine Reduktion dieser Redundanzen dient einer höheren Automatisierung und Standardisierung, kann aber auch die Vorteile von Schatten-IT wie Flexibilität oder Innovation eliminieren. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Lösung dieser Herausforderung durch das Design einer Entscheidungsmethode zur Integration von Schatten-IT und zentraler IT. Literaturreviews, Experteninterviews und Fallstudien in fünf Unternehmen dienen der Methodenentwicklung. Die Arbeit bedient sich den theoretischen Grundlagen des Mensch-Aufgabe-Technik-Systems, der Ähnlichkeit von IT-Systemen, Integrationstaxonomien, der Pfadabhängigkeit, EAM Concerns und EAM Pattern. Die Entscheidungsmethode betrachtet die lokale Perspektive des Fachbereichs und die globale Perspektive der IT-Abteilung. Sie beschreibt die Schritte zur Schaffung von Transparenz, dem Entwurf von Integrationsszenarien und der Ableitung von Handlungsempfehlungen zur Integration. Sie unterstützt eine effektive Entscheidungsfindung beim Management von Unternehmensarchitekturen.

This book examines the current status of mHealth development, regulations and the social background in Japan, South Korea and China, comparing it to the situation in the United States and the European Union and consider solutions to issues surrounding mHealth.The recent progress in mobile technology, represented by smartphones and smart watches, has been remarkable. A service called mobile health (mHealth), which uses such mobile technology to manage health, is also becoming a reality. Although the accuracy of medical devices is not as accurate as those used in medicine, the biometric information such as heart rate and SpO2 can already be monitored over a long period of time. Although the technology is maturing to the point where it can be implemented in society, it remains an unapproved service of medical care in most countries. The development and social implementation of mHealth is most active in the US, but social implementation is gradually progressing in other countries as well. In this book, we will first discuss what kind of global and harmonized regulations are desirable by comparing the regulatory reforms necessary for social implementation of mHealth. In addition, mHealth raises privacy concerns in the US because the usual behavior and biometric information of subjects is utilized by private companies. In addition, it is important to note that the behavior and biometric information of subjects collected by smart devices is automatically analyzed by AI technology, mainly machine learning, which makes the analysis a black box.
