From ignorance to uncertainty: a conceptual analysis

Pietro Baroni, Giovanni Guida, Silvano Mussi (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper aims to develop an analysis of how ignorance affects the reasoning activity and is related to the concept of uncertainty. With reference to a simple inferential reasoning step, involving a single piece of relational knowledge, we identify four types of ignorance and show how they give rise to different types of uncertainty. We then introduce the concept of reasoning attitude, as a basic choice about how reasoning should be carried out in presence of ignorance. We identify...

Production planning in data envelopment analysis without explicit inputs

Alireza Amirteimoori, Behrooz Daneshian, Sohrab Kordrostami, Kambiz Shahroodi (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In the performance measurement using tools such as data envelopment analysis (DEA), data without explicit inputs has attracted considerable attention among researchers. In such studies the problem of production planning in the next production season is an important and interesting subject. Because of the uncertain nature of the future, decision makers need to provide robust procedures in order to examine alternative courses of action and their implications. The purpose of this paper...

An incremental approach to obtaining attribute reduction for dynamic decision systems

Liu Wenjun (2016)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In the 1960s Professor Hu Guoding proposed a method of measuring information based on the idea that connotation and denotation of a concept satisfies inverse ratio rule. According to this information measure, firstly we put forward the information quantity for information systems and decision systems; then, we discuss the updating mechanism of information quantity for decision systems; finally, we give an attribute reduction algorithm for decision tables with dynamically varying attribute...

A classical decision theoretic perspective on worst-case analysis

Moshe Sniedovich (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We examine worst-case analysis from the standpoint of classical Decision Theory. We elucidate how this analysis is expressed in the framework of Wald's famous Maximin paradigm for decision-making under strict uncertainty. We illustrate the subtlety required in modeling this paradigm by showing that information-gap's robustness model is in fact a Maximin model in disguise.

Reasons: belief support and goal dynamics.

Cristiano Castelfranchi (1996)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to the structural relation between beliefs and goals. I discuss its importance in modelling cognitive agents; its origin in cognitive processing; its structure (belief structure relative to a goal); its crucial role in rationality, mediating between epistemic and pragmatic rationality; its role in goal Dynamics. I stress the crucial contribution of the supporting beliefs to the Processing of goals; to the Revision of goals (or Dynamics in a narrow sense), i.e. the...
