Estimating the Value of Evidence-Based Decision Making
By Abadie, Agarwal, Imbens et al

In an era of data abundance, statistical evidence is increasingly critical for business and policy decisions. Yet, organizations lack empirical tools to assess the value of evidence-based decision making (EBDM), optimize statistical precision, and balance the costs of evidence-gathering strategies against their benefits. To tackle these challenges, this article introduces an empirical framework to estimate the value of EBDM and evaluate the return on investment in statistical precision and project ideation. The framework leverages parametric and nonparametric empirical Bayes methods to account for parameter heterogeneity and measure how statistical precision changes the value of evidence. The value extracted from statistical evidence depends critically on how organizations translate evidence into policy decisions. Commonly used decision rules based on statistical significance can leave substantial value unrealized and, in some cases, generate negative expected value.

A new study shows evidence-based decision making (EBDM) improves business outcomes by optimizing statistical precision, surpassing traditional significance methods by 30%. With empirical Bayes methods, organizations unlock greater value from data-driven insights. https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.13681

FYI I did some work for the MoD on Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) a few years ago, including a literature search on methods for dealing with evidence in complex systems unsuited to RCTs. It isn't publicly available (afaik) but is referenced here.

Overview of the Evidence Framework Approach (EFA)

Introduction

The EFA is about practical ways to think about evidence and practical ways for improving
analytical quality. Specifically, the EFA aims to:

. Help people become better systems thinkers by embracing complexity within an
'analysis estimate' process.

. Provide a means by which people can consider evidence and its characteristics
and engage in discourse about evidence.

. Provide quick methods to support a range of stakeholder interests.

New on CRAN: ebdm (1.0.0). View at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ebdm

ebdm: Implementation of Estimating Binary Dependency from Marginal Data

Provides a maximum likelihood estimation method to recover the joint distribution of two binary variables using only marginal summary data from multiple studies. This approach allows for privacy-preserving estimation in settings where individual-level data are unavailable. The method is fully described in the manuscript by Shang, Tsao and Zhang (2025) <<a href="https://doi.org/10.48550%2FarXiv.2505.03995" target="_top">doi:10.48550/arXiv.2505.03995</a>>: "Estimating the Joint Distribution of Two Binary Variables from Their Marginal Summaries".

Amidst constrained resources & rapid change, how do we:
1. Ensure ongoing availability & access to #ResearchWorthUsing?
2. Support high-quality use of research evidence through routines that integrate evidence into decision-making? #URE #EBDM
3. Reliably achieve & demonstrate #ResearchImpact?

That interview he did before Endgame dropped was spooky as hell after the fact, when he was on the red carpet & the person was asking about Black Panther 2 and he kept saying "I'm dead."
