Theories And Strategies of Good Decision Making

by Maryam Temitayo Ahmed, Habeeb Omotunde
"... Abstract:- Decision making is one of the major attribute of a good leader. It is a core skill employers look for in job description. Decision making is basically the major role of managers and leaders. Despite of the fact it is done all the time and at almost all levels of a project, we have not sto ..."

Extending Argumentation to make good Decisions

by Yannis Dimopoulos, Pavlos Moraitis, Leila Amgoud
"... Abstract. Argumentation has been acknowledged as a powerful mechanism for automated decision making. In this context several recent works have studied the problem of accommodating preference information in argumentation framework and its underlying acceptability semantics. In this paper we show that ..."

A training algorithm for optimal margin classifiers

by Bernhard E. Boser, et al. - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 5TH ANNUAL ACM WORKSHOP ON COMPUTATIONAL LEARNING THEORY , 1992
"... A training algorithm that maximizes the margin between the training patterns and the decision boundary is presented. The technique is applicable to a wide variety of classifiaction functions, including Perceptrons, polynomials, and Radial Basis Functions. The effective number of parameters is adjust ..."

GOOD DECISIONS: RECONCILING HUMAN RATIONALITY

by F. Freeman, Maureen Scully, Alison Mcintyre, Jim March, Debbie Frisch, Dan Freeman, Tom Jones, Marshall Van Allstyne, Maw Der Foo, Joshua Cohen, Nigel Nicholson, Annabelle Gawer, Nita Regnier For, Steven F. Freeman
"... Abstract: The utility principles upon which decision theory is based conflict with both empirical findings and ethical thought. Evolutionary analysis cognizant of human interdependence, dependence, and death explains why we find genetic attributes and cultural values inconsistent with the tenets of ..."

Choices, values and frames.

by Daniel Kahneman - American Psychologist, , 1984
"... Making decisions is like speaking prose-people do it all the time, knowingly or unknowingly. It is hardly surprising, then, that the topic of decision making is shared by many disciplines, from mathematics and statistics, through economics and political science, to sociology and psychology. The stu ..."

with specified probabilities. A typical riskless decision concerns the acceptability of a transaction in which a good or a service is exchanged for money or labor. In the first part of this article we present an analysis of the cognitive and psychophysical factors that determine the value of risky prospects

Implementing data cubes efficiently

by Venky Harinarayan, Anand Rajaraman, Jeffrey D. Ulman - In SIGMOD , 1996
"... Decision support applications involve complex queries on very large databases. Since response times should be small, query optimization is critical. Users typically view the data as multidimensional data cubes. Each cell of the data cube is a view consisting of an aggregation of interest, like total ..."

Answering the Skeptics: Yes, Standard Volatility Models Do Provide Accurate Forecasts

by Torben G. Andersen, Tim Bollerslev
"... Volatility permeates modern financial theories and decision making processes. As such, accurate measures and good forecasts of future volatility are critical for the implementation and evaluation of asset and derivative pricing theories as well as trading and hedging strategies. In response to this, ..."
