"Effects of decision rule and task importance on sharing of ""unique"" information"
… for using group rather than individual decision-making units: Groups make use of the broader range of facts (produced by the pooling of individual knowledge sets) available to them. It was hypothesized that two variables held constant across Stasser's studies, decision rule (unanimity) …

Effects of two procedural factors on group decision-making: Deliberation style and assigned decision rule
"Many important decision making groups in our society are guided, formally or informally, by a variety of procedures that serve to facilitate the consensus process (e.g., quorum rules, voting procedures, fixed agenda). Despite abundant anecdotes concerning the procedural effects on group decisions …

The Feasibility of Using a Bayesian Decision Rule When Performing a Statistical Audit of a Retail Department Store's Receivables
Made available in DSpace on 2014-12-11T21:53:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 7412125.pdf: 5016686 bytes, checksum: 21d4a0b24489c9bb871ee468d71adf16 (MD5) Previous issue date: 1973

The economics of landslide mitigation strategies: public versus private decisions
The economic rationale for public intervention in decisions regarding landslide hazard mitigation was examined through a cost-benefit analysis. A study area in Cincinnati, Ohio was used to test whether a public agency decision rule is suboptimal to a private decision rule in maximizing net benefits …

RESOURCE USE RATES: ESTIMATION OF TIME INVARIANT DECISION RULES (EROSION)
… has increased, understanding the soil management decision rule used by farmers has become more important. The model developed to analyze the optimal decision rule for soil use rates is essentially a supply response model which assumes rational expectations. It can be characterized as a dynamic …

Robustness of the k-double auction under Knightian uncertainty
… need not commit to a single prior in their decision rule. In fact, it is a feature of the minimax regret decision rule that is not based on any prior. This makes the decision rule an interesting one for agents who face Knightian Uncertainty. A decision problem involves Knightian uncertainty …

Near-Optimal Learning in Sequential Games
Decision making is ubiquitous, and some problems become particularly challenging due to their sequential nature, where later decisions depend on earlier ones. While humans have been attempting to solve sequential decision making problems for a long time, modern computational and machine learning …

Impact of Alternative Flow Control Policies on Value Stream Delivery Robustness Under Demand Instability: a System Dynamics Modeling and Simulation Approach
… policies were created and tested. Policy 1: a decision rule for altering the number of kanbans in circulation at the protective decoupling inventory during production cycles. Policy 2: a decision rule for defining the amount of demand to include in value stream schedules. Policy 3: a decision …

Observational learning with finite memory
We study a model of sequential decision making under uncertainty by a population of agents. Each agent prior to making a decision receives a private signal regarding a binary underlying state of the world. Moreover she observes the actions of her last K immediate predecessors. We discriminate …

Observer-based fault detection for nuclear reactors
… alarm and failure to detect a fault are two decision errors when noise is considered. The goal here is to achieve a reasonable compromise. The two types of decision errors can be characterized by their respective first hitting time of a decision threshold. This in turn is dependent on the …

Binary tree classifier and context classifier
… are discussed in this paper, one is a binary decision tree classifier based on the Fisher's linear discriminant function as a decision rule at each nonterminal node, and the other is a contextual classifier which gives each pixel the highest probability label given some substantially sized …

Decision-theoretic techniques for the development and use of side information in frequency-hop radio receivers
… should be erased. In this thesis, Bayesian decision theory is employed to obtain such a method for use in frequency-hop communications with Reed-Solomon coding and errors-and-erasures decoding. One erasure decision rule that is derived minimizes a bound on the probability of not decoding …

Retrospective validation of the San Francisco Syncope Rule for prediction of short-term serious outcomes in adult syncope patients
… instruments available, the San Francisco Syncope Rule is the only one that has been prospectively derived and validated, included all serious outcomes, focuses on short-term outcomes rather than long-term outcomes and adhered to the accepted guidelines for developing a clinical decision rule. This …

Prediction of pulmonary embolism in children
… signs and symptoms and developed a clinical decision rule for the evaluation of children with suspected PE in the ED setting. In addition, we evaluated the Modified Wells Criteria and PERC (Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria) Rule by applying these established adult clinical decision rules …

Optimization Techniques for Instream Flow Allocations
… for surface reservoirs known as the linear decision rule (LDR) with an objective function representing the instream value of reservoir releases to downstream fisheries. Operating policies for a reservoir are defined in a set of LDR chance constraints which enforce the satisfaction, at …

Inferring noncompensatory choice heuristics
Human decision making is a topic of great interest to marketers, psychologists, economists, and others. People are often modeled as rational utility maximizers with unlimited mental resources. However, due to the structure of the environment as well as cognitive limitations, people frequently use …

Location Verification for Spoofing Detection in Non-Terrestrial Networks

Data Driven Nonparametric Detection
… where all observed data are available for making decision, and decentralized detection, where only quantized data from distributed sensors are forwarded to a fusion center for decision making. While these problems have been intensively studied under parametric and semi-parametric models with …
