Abstract:
The three chapters of this thesis investigate social aspects of judgment and decision making. Chapter One analyses the consequences of making decisions based on predictions of future well-being, and the conditions under which advice can improve these decisions. It shows that an interaction between errors in affective forecasts and the choice process leads to suboptimal decisions and disappointment, and establishes conditions under which advice reduces these effects. The second chapter investigates the boundaries of the result that eliciting more than one estimate from the same person and avera

Abstract:
This thesis gives an example of how decision analytic methods can be applied to choices in the adoption of cloud computing. The lifecycle of IT systems from planning to retirement is rapidly changing. Making a technology decision that can be justified and explained in terms of outcomes and benefits can be increasingly challenging without a systematic approach underlying the decision making process. It is proposed that better, more informed cloud adoption decisions would be taken if organisations used a structured approach to frame the problem to be solved and then applied trade-offs using an a

Abstract:
We learn decision lists over a space of features that are constructed from the data. A practical machine which we call the Decision List Machine comes as a result. We construct the Decision List Machine which uses generalized balls as data-dependent features. We compare practical performance on some data sets with the performance of some other learning algorithms such as the Set Covering Machine and the Support Vector Machine. This performance is evaluated for both symmetric and asymmetric loss coefficients. We also provide a theoretical assessment of the performance of the DAM by computing up
