Breast cancer is the most common life-threatening cancer in women and one of the leading causes of death. Early diagnosis is one of the best defenses against the spread of breast cancer. Machine learning (ML) tools are now available for cancer detection and prediction. This study presents a...

We consider the effects of "precision" screening policies for cancer guided by algorithms. We first show that complex machine learning models can indeed predict cancer better than simpler models that use established risk factors. We then tackle the evaluation challenge: an algorithm that can...

In traditional models, votes are an expression of preferences and beliefs. Psychological theories of cognitive dissonance suggest, however, that behavior may shape preferences. In this view, the very act of voting may influence political attitudes. A vote for a candidate may lead to more...
