A characterization of value efficiency.

Alfonso Mateos, Sixto Ríos-Insua (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

An important issue in multi-attribute decision making consists of identifying the set of efficient solutions. The importance of this set is that the decision maker (DM) can restrict his attention to it, discarding all other solutions, because a nonefficient solution can never be optimal. Several methods have been developed to aid a DM in generating all or representative subsets of efficient solutions, [1] and [4], or to approximate it [7]. However most of these methods may be hard to...

A model of decision with linguistic knowledge.

María Teresa Lamata Jiménez (1994)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to develop a new aggregating method for the decision problem in which the possible values of rewards are known in linguistic terms. We show new operators for solving this problem, as well as the way in which OWA operators provide us with an adequate framework for representing the optimism degree of the decision maker in case we have no information about the real state.

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...

Optimal alternative robustness in Bayesian Decision Theory.

Fabrizio Ruggeri, Jacinto Martín, David Ríos Insua (2003)

RACSAM

Similarity:

In Martin et al (2003), we suggested an approach to general robustness studies in Bayesian Decision Theory and Inference, based on ε-contamination neighborhoods. In this note, we generalise the results considering neighborhoods based on norms, specifically, the supremum norm for utilities and the total variation norm for probability distributions. We provide tools to detect changes in preferences between alternatives under perturbations of the prior and/or the utility and the most sensitive...

Auctions with Untrustworthy Bidders

Braynov, Sviatoslav, Pavlov, Radoslav (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The paper analyzes auctions which are not completely enforceable. In such auctions, economic agents may fail to carry out their obligations, and parties involved cannot rely on external enforcement or control mechanisms for backing up a transaction. We propose two mechanisms that make bidders directly or indirectly reveal their trustworthiness. The first mechanism is based on discriminating bidding schedules that separate trustworthy from untrustworthy bidders. The second mechanism...
