Environmental evaluation of alternative options for the disposal of oily waste following a marine oil spill off the South African coast and development of a decision strategy
… the volumes, but costs could be prohibitive. A strategy is developed to provide the decision maker with a framework within which the decision process towards finding the correct solution for the disposal of oily waste following an oil spill off the South African Coast can be undertaken.

Decision making strategies: the influence of task complexity, decision importance, decision maker impulsivity, and decision maker gender
The effects of decision task complexity, decision importance, and decision maker impulsivity on decision making behavior were studied in this thesis. Measures involving time and acquisition of information were devised as well as specialized measures of decision strategy complexity. Thirty-six …

"An Investigation of Decomposed and Holistic Judgments in Multiattribute Decision Making: Generalizing the ""Divide and Conquer"" Principle"
… the external validity (the agreement between a decision strategy and an objective criterion) for decomposed and holistic judgments from two popular multi-criteria decision making techniques, Saaty's (1977, 1980) Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and SMARTS, on a variety of dependent measures. …

Effects of the luminous environment on managerial decision making
… may have on the way a manager goes about making decisions. This work considers one element of the environment, lighting, and attempts to establish a relationship between that element and the decision strategy a manager may select.</p> <p>From a review of the literature on the effects of light on …

Optimal Response in Decision Making: An Experimental Investigation of Decision Strategies
A decision process can be conceptually separated into a perceptual process and a decision strategy. The former includes all the different mechanisms that contribute to accumulate information relevant to the decision, whereas the decision strategy determines when enough information has been …

Structural and functional brain plasticity for statistical learning
… of statistical learning for making perceptual decisions, we know surprisingly little about the brain circuits and how they change when learning temporal regularities. In my thesis, I combine behavioural measurements, Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) to investigate …

Adaptive routing behavior with real time information under multiple travel objectives
… provision and different travel objectives. The decision strategies of participants are analyzed and compared to the optimal policy, along with few other possible decision rules and a general model is calibrated to describe the travelers' decision strategy. This research is a step towards …

Self-awareness theory and decision theory: a theoretical and empirical integration
<p>The literatures on self-awareness theories and decision theories were reviewed separately and then integrated for the purposes of: (a) exploring possible applications of self-awareness to improve decision making; and (b) for extending research in the area of self-awareness to a decision making …

Optimal Inference for Distributed Detection
… not exist an automatic way of generating optimal decision strategies for non-affine decision functions. Consequently, in a detection problem based on a non-affine decision function, establishing optimality of a given decision strategy, such as a generalized likelihood ratio test, is often …

A multi-attribute method for ranking the risks from multiple hazards in a small community
… that includes probabilistic risk assessment, decision analysis, and expert judgment. Scenarios are constructed to show how the initiating events evolve into undesirable consequences. A value tree, based on multi-attribute utility theory, is used to capture the decision maker's preferences …

The Effect of Rational and Intuitive Decision-Making Strategies on the Quality of Interest Forecasts
… of primary interest to vocational psychologists. Decision-making theories and methodologies from the areas of cognitive and social psychology have been applied to career adaptability through the Anti-introspectivist approach and Trilateral Model of adaptive career decision-making, which postulate …

Multi-agent real-time decision making in water resources systems
… requires a carefully designed framework coupling decision making and a mathematical abstraction of the physical system. On one hand, the choice of the decision-strategy can set limits/bounds on the maximum benefit that can be extracted from the physical system. On the other hand the mathematical …
