  1. 1. Predictive Techniques and Methods for Decision Support in Situations with Poor Data Quality

    Author : Rikard König; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Rule Extraction; Genetic Programming; Uncertainty estimation; Machine Learning; Artificial Neural Networks; Data Mining; Information Fusion; Information technology; Informationsteknik; Teknik; Technology;

    Abstract : Today, decision support systems based on predictive modeling are becoming more common, since organizations often collect more data than decision makers can handle manually. Predictive models are used to find potentially valuable patterns in the data, or to predict the outcome of some event. READ MORE

  2. 2. Imprecise information in multi-level decision trees

    Author : Jim Johansson [Idefeldt]; Love Ekenberg; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multi-level; decision tree; decision analysis; decision tool; imprecise; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : The information available to decision makers is often vague and imprecise, and various methods based on interval estimates of probabilities and utilities have been proposed to deal with this. The discussion has, however, mostly evolved around representation, and much less has been done to take into consideration the evaluation, and also computational and implementation aspects has been left out.

  3. 3. The Apparent Arbitrariness of Second-Order Probability Distributions

    Author : David Sundgren; Love Ekenberg; Mats Danielson; Lev Utkin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Adequate representation of imprecise probabilities is a crucial and non-trivial problem in decision analysis. Second-order probability distributions is the model for imprecise probabilities whose merits are discussed in this thesis. READ MORE

  4. 4. Bilinear optimization in computational decision analysis

    Author : Xiaosong Ding; Love Ekenberg; Ahti Salo; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : In real-life decision analysis, significant recognition has been given to theunrealistic expectation of numerically precise information. Many modernapproaches attempting to handle imprecision have focused more on representationand less on evaluation. READ MORE

  5. 5. Distribution of expected utility in second-order decision analysis

    Author : David Sundgren; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; beslutsanalys; andra ordningens fördelningar; förväntad nytta; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : In decision analysis maximising the expected utility is an often used approach in choosing the optimal alternative. But when probabilities and utilities are vague or imprecise expected utility is fraught with complications. READ MORE
