✦ Synopsis

We investigate the modeling of changes in user interest in information filtering systems. A new technique for tracking user interest shifts based on a Bayesian approach is developed. The interest tracker is integrated into a profile learning module of a filtering system. We present an analytical study to establish the rate of convergence for the profile learning with and without the user interest tracking component. We examine the relationship among degree of shift, cost of detection error, and time needed for detection. To study the effect of different patterns of interest shift on system performance we also conducted several filtering experiments. Generally, the findings show that the Bayesian approach is a feasible and effective technique for modeling user interest shift.

The linear mixed effects model with normal errors is a popular model for the analysis of repeated measures and longitudinal data. The generalized linear model is useful for data that have non-normal errors but where the errors are uncorrelated. A descendant of these two models generates a model for

To assess the costs and bene"ts of screening and treatment strategies, it is important to know what would have happened had there been no intervention. In today's ethical climate, however, it is almost impossible to observe this directly and therefore must be inferred from observations with interven

Previous research has uncovered many conditions that encourage base-rate use. The present research investigates how base-rates are used when conditions are manipulated to encourage their use in the lawyer/engineer paradigm. To examine the functional form of the response to base-rate, a factorial des
