Incentives, Base Rate Expectations, and False Alarms in the Detection of Data Errors

Year: 2001

Type: article

Abstract: Incentives and base rate expectations have been shown to affect the detection of data errors.Unfortunately, the incentives that most improve error detection also have a large false alarm rate in low error rate environments.False alarms are problematic in environments with a high cost of investigating possible data errors.This experiment will improve our understanding of how incentives can improve error detection without contributing to excessive false alarms.
