Timonin, Mikhail. "Axiomatizations of the Choquet integral on general decision spaces." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2017. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/24864.

Abstract:

We propose an axiomatization of the Choquet integral model for the general case of a heterogeneous product set X = X1 Xn. Previous characterizations of the Choquet integral have been given for the particular cases X = Y n and X = Rn. However, this makes the results inapplicable to problems in many fields of decision theory, such as multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA), state-dependent utility (SD-DUU), and social choice. For example, in multicriteria decision analysis the elements of X are interpreted as alternatives, characterized by criteria taking values from the sets Xi. Obviously, the i

Boyd, Kathleen Anne. "Employing early decision analytic modelling to inform economic evaluation in health care : theory & practice." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2012. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3685/.

Full text

Abstract:

Decision analytic modelling (DAM) is a mathematical technique which is used to structure and synthesise evidence in order to inform decision making, given uncertainty. Decision models are an ideal tool for undertaking economic evaluations as they enable a wide range of data on costs and effects to be synthesised within the model in order to derive cost-effectiveness outcomes. The iterative framework for economic appraisal has been proposed as good practice for undertaking economic evaluations (1), and DAM plays a key role within this framework. In particular there is a role for early stage DAM

Abstract:

The idea of a United Nations (UN) intelligence system is widely misunderstood and debates about it seem to be both misplaced and anecdotal. The lack of a consistent theory on intelligence has fostered the widely held view that such a system is not feasible or incompatible with the UN collective security system. This dissertation takes as its central thesis, the question, of whether an intelligence system is both desirable and feasible within the UN structure. In spite of the fact that no known study has so far engaged with the subject matter at the depth presented in this dissertation, the stu

Abstract:

This work considers the potential contribution of rational actor and behaviouralist models of political and participatory culture, in understanding specific contemporary issues within the topic of public participation in the decision making activities of UK local authorities. The basis for the research was a range of disruptive or confounding phenomena reported in various literatures, that either generate antipathy during schemes or create negative pre-conceptions that could affect future projects. It is suggested that an appreciation of these confounding factors, when viewed in the context of

Abstract:

The challenge of determining whether data from a gravitational wave detector contains signals which are cosmic in origin is the central problem in gravitational wave astronomy. The "detection problem" is particularly challenging for low amplitude signals embedded in "glitchy" instrument noise. It is imperative that we can robustly distinguish between the data being consistent with instrument noise alone, or noise and a weak gravitational wave signal. In response to this challenge we have set out to develop a robust, general purpose approach that can locate and characterize gravitational wave s

Abstract:

Since 2003, Children’s Services have sought to promote more consolidated work by professionals of different disciplinary backgrounds who might otherwise follow independent forms of practice. This is believed to enhance efficacy and reduce inequality in providing for vulnerable children (Boddy, Potts, & Statham, 2006; DCSF, 2003). Evidence that this improves child outcomes is mixed, however. Professionals may have difficulties working together effectively, for example Anning, Cottrell, Frost, Green, & Robinson (2006) and Sloper (2004).

Abstract:

This thesis is chiefly concerned with understanding the reasons behind British foreign policy towards Palestine between the invasion in December 1917 and final withdrawal in May 1948. It applies Poliheuristic Decision (Ph) Theory to British Cabinet decision-making at four critical junctures in foreign policy decision-making during this time period, arguing that contrary to the established literature on Mandate Palestine, British Cabinet policy reflected a stark lack of viable alternatives that left little room for consideration of personal biases, allegiances or sentimental attachment to eithe

Abstract:

Stafford and Warr (1993) reconceptualized general and specific deterrence into a single theory in which individuals' propensities to engage in criminal behavior are based on some combination of personal experiences with being punished and avoiding punishment and vicarious (or indirect) experiences with being punished and avoiding punishment. The researchers make a substantial contribution to the deterrence literature by accounting for the effect of punishment avoidance when assessing deterrence theory. Despite the theoretical appeal of this restatement, few studies have tested its empirical me

Abstract:

This is an investigation into the methods and techniques used by Lord Denning in pursuit of his notion of doing justice to the case in front of him. The thesis examines Denning’s upbringing and biography to attempt to identify incidents and influences on his character which may have shown themselves in his later judicial career. The thesis then examines his judicial style and philosophy to attempt to isolate a theory of adjudication which accounts for some of his decisions. The theory of the interstitial spaces within the law wherein judges are entitled to exercise their discretion in coming t

Jusqu'à maintenant, ce programme de recherche a principalement visé à démontrer que même les individus aux raisonnements les plus biaisés faisaient preuve de tendances à la détection de conflits.

Abstract:

Advances in medical technology have altered the need for certain types of surgery to be performed in traditional inpatient hospital settings. Less invasive surgical procedures allow a growing number of medical treatments to take place on an outpatient basis. Hospitals face growing competition from ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The competitive threats posed by ASCs are important, given that inpatient surgery has been the cornerstone of hospital services for over a century. Additional research is needed to understand how surgical volume shifts between and within acute care general hospitals

After the introductory chapter, this thesis comprises four main chapters before concluding in chapter 6. The thesis undertakes a systematic analysis of the con- tinuation value based method for sequential decision problems originally due to Jovanovic (1982). Although recently this technique is widely employed in a va- riety of economic applications, its theoretical connections to the traditional value function based method, relative efficiency, and optimality/analytical properties have hitherto received no general investigation.

Abstract:

Shareholders are important because they provide finance to companies by investing in the share market. Shareholder voting rights are attached to the shares. The rights are defined by a company’s constitution, shareholders agreement, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and ASX Listing Rules. The exercise of the rights is significant for the growth and trustworthiness of capital markets. Previous research has focused on evaluation of the strength of shareholders rights, shareholders activism and shareholders engagement but lacked evaluation of the ways in which shareholders exercised their rights.

An existence of competitive equilibrium is established. Quantitative analysis is provided for health insurance problem. The other topic is in decision problems under ambiguity. Lack of precise information regarding a decision problem is represented by a set of probabilities. Descriptive richness of the set of probabilities is defi ned. It is used to generalize Skorohod's theorem to sets of probabilities. T
