Decision models for optimizing fuel enrichment services under long-term fixed-commitment contracts
… purpose of this study is to construct and test decision models that will enable utility companies to identify cost effective strategies for dealing with enrichment service contracts. Specifically, three decision models are developed to analyze the 18 month decision points of the Long-Term …

The use of clinical, behavioral, and social determinants of health to improve identification of patients in need of advanced care for depression
… We leveraged the depression taxonomy to build decision models that predicted need for referrals across: (a) the overall patient population and (b) various high-risk populations. Decision models were built using longitudinal, clinical, and behavioral data extracted from a population of 84,317 …

A new swarm optimal collective searching behaviour framework using decision-making under risk
… and optimization problems. There are several decision-making modelsthat have been introduced in the literature on collective searching behaviour. However,those decision models are based on the Expected Utility Theory (BUT) and tend tooptimize the outcome value of the utility function; in other …

Simplified models for multi-criteria decision analysis under uncertainty
When facilitating decisions in which some performance evaluations are uncertain, a decision must be taken about how this uncertainty is to be modelled. This involves, in part, choosing an uncertainty format {a way of representing the possible outcomes that may occur. It seems reasonable to suggest …

Crowdsourcing decision support: frugal human computation for efficient decision input acquisition
When faced with data-intensive decision problems, individuals, businesses, and governmental decision-makers must balance trade-offs between optimality and the high cost of conducting a thorough decision process. The unprecedented availability of information online has created opportunities to make …

Patterns in information technology portfolio decision making: an inductive approach
… the structural properties of patterns in the decision-making processes used for information technology (IT) portfolio management with an emphasis on two key issues; (1) strategic alignment and (2) the mitigation of risks early-on during planning. Based on the cross sectional analysis of a …

A concessionaire selection decision model development and application for the PPP project procurement
… An industry case was applied to demonstrate SD decision models. The SD decision models have been validated through the behaviour reproduction test and multivariate sensitivity analysis. This proved that the proposed approach is robust and applicable to address real world problems to evaluate the …

The treatment of uncertainty in multicriteria decision making
The nature of human decision making dictates that a decision must often be considered under conditions of uncertainty. Decisions may be influenced by uncertain future events, doubts regarding the precision of inputs, doubts as to what the decision maker considers important, and many other forms of …

Optimal real estate development in a competitive market with effects of externalities and developers' reputation
When making real estate development decisions, developers would rely on not only the general market conditions at a macroeconomic level but also the specific market conditions, such as externalities of neighbourhood properties and competitorsa?? reputational strength. However, the effects of …

Fejezetek a kockázat témaköréből a közgazdaságtanban = Chapters from the topic of risk in economics
… master's thesis as a factor influencing economic decisions. Topic of my master's thesis was the comparison of different types of power plants with multi criteria decision models. Research of different risk related topics – especially with quantitative tools – turned out to be a less studied topic …
