Decision Making: Uncertainty, Imperfection, Deliberation and Scalability
by Tatiana V. Guy Miroslav Kárný David H. WolpertThis volume focuses on uncovering the fundamental forces underlying dynamic decision making among multiple interacting, imperfect and selsh decision makers. The chapters are written by leading experts from different disciplines, all considering the many sources of imperfection in decision making, and always with an eye to decreasing the myriad discrepancies between theory and real world human decision making. Topics addressed include uncertainty, deliberation cost and the complexity arising from the inherent large computational scale of decision making in these systems. In particular, analyses and experiments are presented which concern: * task allocation to maximize "the wisdom of the crowd"; * design of a society of "edutainment" robots who account for one anothers' emotional states; * recognizing and counteracting seemingly non-rational human decision making; * coping with extreme scale when learning causality in networks; * efciently incorporating expert knowledge in personalized medicine; * the effects of personality on risky decision making. The volume is a valuable source for researchers, graduate students and practitioners in machine learning, stochastic control, robotics, and economics, among other elds.
Decision Mathematics, Statistical Learning and Data Mining: Selected Contributions from ICMSCT2023, Manila, Philippines, September 20-21 (Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics #461)
by Yap Bee Wah Wan Fairos Wan Yaacob Obaid Ullah MehmoodThis book is a collection of selected research papers presented at the Mathematics, Statistics and Computing Technology (ICMSCT2023), held at the UST Angelicum College, Philippines, from 20th to 21st September 2023. This biennial event is a result from collaborations of university partners in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and Philippines. Increasing investment in digital technologies is a challenge faced by most countries after the crisis caused by COVID-19 and the demand of technological revolution 4.0. Indirectly, regardless of their level of development, they take into account the importance of redesigning strategies for resilient and sustainable regional economic development, increasing regional resilience and minimizing recovery costs as a basis for development. In such situation, this book gather discussion, viewpoints and findings on the recent works of mathematical and computing technology applications in order to propose solutions to overcome adversity of digital resilience. This book covers a wide range of topics on applied mathematics, which includes decision mathematics and also applied statistics covering statistical learning with applications. In addition, the book also highlight the latest application of statistical mining and data visualization, particularly on data mining, machine learning and data visualization. Editors believe this book will interest and influence researchers on the recent techniques, methodologies and applications to ensure digital resilience and support future research.
Decision Science: A Human-Oriented Perspective
by George MengovThis book offers a new perspective on human decision-making by comparing the established methods in decision science with innovative modelling at the level of neurons and neural interactions. The book presents a new generation of computer models, which can predict with astonishing accuracy individual economic choices when people make them by quick intuition rather than by effort. A vision for a new kind of social science is outlined, whereby neural models of emotion and cognition capture the dynamics of socioeconomic systems and virtual social networks. The exposition is approachable by experts as well as by advanced students. The author is an Associate Professor of Decision Science with a doctorate in Computational Neuroscience, and a former software consultant to banks in the City of London.

Decision Support
by David Paradice Ramesh Sharda Daniel J. Power David Schuff Frada BursteinThis volume of Annals of Information Systems will acknowledge the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the International Society for Decision Support Systems (ISDSS) by documenting some of the current best practices in teaching and research and envisioning the next twenty years in the decision support systems field. The volume is intended to complement existing DSS literature by offering an outlet for thoughts and research particularly suited to the theme of describing the next twenty years in the area of decision support. Several subthemes are planned for the volume. One subtheme draws on the assessments of internationally known DSS researchers to evaluate where the field has been and what has been accomplished. A second subtheme of the volume will be describing the current best practices of DSS research and teaching efforts. A third subtheme will be an assessment by top DSS scholars on where the DSS discipline needs to focus in the future. The tone of this volume is one of enthusiasm for the potential contributions to come in the area of DSS; contributions that must incorporate an understanding of what has been accomplished in the past, build on the best practices of today, and be be integrated into future decision making practices. The primary questions raised by this volume are: What will information systems-based decision support entail in twenty years? What research is needed to realize the envisioned future of information systems-based decision support? How will the teaching of information systems-based decision support change over the next twenty years? What are the best practices of teaching in the decision support area that can be leveraged to best disseminate DSS knowledge advances to students and practitioners?

Decision Support Systems for Weed Management
by Guillermo R. Chantre José L. González-AndújarWeed management Decision Support Systems (DSS) are increasingly important computer-based tools for modern agriculture. Nowadays, extensive agriculture has become highly dependent on external inputs and both economic costs, as well the negative environmental impact of agricultural activities, demands knowledge-based technology for the optimization and protection of non-renewable resources. In this context, weed management strategies should aim to maximize economic profit by preserving and enhancing agricultural systems. Although previous contributions focusing on weed biology and weed management provide valuable insight on many aspects of weed species ecology and practical guides for weed control, no attempts have been made to highlight the forthcoming importance of DSS in weed management. This book is a first attempt to integrate `concepts and practice’ providing a novel guide to the state-of-art of DSS and the future prospects which hopefully would be of interest to higher-level students, academics and professionals in related areas.
Decision Support Using Nonparametric Statistics
by Warren BeattyThis concise volume covers nonparametric statistics topics that most are most likely to be seen and used from a practical decision support perspective. While many degree programs require a course in parametric statistics, these methods are often inadequate for real-world decision making in business environments. Much of the data collected today by business executives (for example, customer satisfaction opinions) requires nonparametric statistics for valid analysis, and this book provides the reader with a set of tools that can be used to validly analyze all data, regardless of type. Through numerous examples and exercises, this book explains why nonparametric statistics will lead to better decisions and how they are used to reach a decision, with a wide array of business applications. Online resources include exercise data, spreadsheets, and solutions.
