Abstract:

Miranda understanding, appreciation, and reasoning abilities are essential to courts' determinations of knowing and intelligent Miranda rights waivers. Despite the remarkable development of Miranda research in recent decades, studies have generally focused on understanding and appreciation of Miranda rights, but have not examined Miranda reasoning and waiver decisions. Therefore, examining the nature of defendants' decisional capacities constitutes a critical step in further developing theoretical and clinical models for competent Miranda waiver decisions. The current study evaluated Mirand

Abstract:

New conceptual work in the judgment and decision-making research arena has suggested a nonconsequentialist perspective to decision-making. From this perspective, an emphasis is placed on emotions during the decision-making process, specifically positing that concurrent emotions may lead to decisions that are nonconsequentialist in nature. In the current study I develop the Nonconsequentialist Decision-Making Model (NDMM) and include indecisiveness as a vital construct in the model. In tune with much new research on emotions during the decision-making process, I examine how being indecisive

Abstract:

Mathematical models of water distribution systems (WDS) serve as tools to represent the real systems for many different purposes. Calibration is the process of fine tuning the model parameters so that the real system is well-represented. In practice, calibration is performed considering all information is deterministic. Recent researches have incorporated uncertainties caused by field measurements into the calibration process. Parameter (D-optimality) and predictive (I-optimality) uncertainties have been used as indicators of how well a system is calibrated.This study focuses on a methodology

Abstract:

Threat assessment and reliable motion-prediction of surrounding vehicles are some of the major challenges encountered in autonomous vehicles' safe decision-making. Predicting a threat in advance can give an autonomous vehicle enough time to avoid crashes or near crash situations. Most vehicles on roads are human-driven, making it challenging to predict their intentions and movements due to inherent uncertainty in their behaviors. Moreover, different driver behaviors pose different kinds of threats. Various driver behavior predictive models have been proposed in the literature for motion predic

This framework is intended to be descriptive in nature as opposed to prescriptive or normative; the output of the model represents a plausible result of a designer's decision making process. The framework decomposes the decision into three elements: the problem statement, the designer's beliefs about the alternatives, and the designer's preferences.

Specifically, we are interested in systems where agents reach consensus according to endogenous thresholds.

An individual will commit to some collective endeavour only if the number of others having already committed exceeds their threshold. Consensus is reached only where all individuals express commitment. We present a family of models that describe fundamental aspects

The quantification of choice has been a major area of research for behavioural scientists for several decades. This is, in part, due to the discovery of the matching law (Herrnstein, 1961) which stipulates that relative response rates on concurrently available alternatives “match” the available relative reinforcement rates. This theoretical construct has been developed to describe response allocation in more complex situations, such as concurrent chains, and successfully describes both human and non-human behaviour. Typically, this phenomenon becomes evident when behaviour settles at an asympt

D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Economics, September, 2020<br>Cataloged from student-submitted PDF of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>This thesis consists of three separate papers concerning the use of communication channels and intermediaries in organizations. A noisy-signalling model of strategic communication is introduced in the first chapter, and expanded upon in the remainder of the thesis. In the second part of the first chapter, I use the core noisy-signalling model to study organizational design of a single channel of communicati

Abstract:

Coreference is an important and frequent concept in any form of discourse, and Coreference Resolution (CR) a widely used task in Natural Language Understanding (NLU). In this thesis, we implement and explore two recent models that include the concept of coreference in Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)-based Language Models (LM). Entity and reference decisions are modeled explicitly in these models using attention mechanisms. Both models learn to save the previously observed entities in a set and to decide if the next token created by the LM is a mention of one of the entities in the set, an entit

Abstract:

The focus of this thesis is on the application of decision models to the economic evaluation of health care technologies. The primary objective addresses the correct choice of modelling technique, as the attributes of the chosen technique could have a significant impact on the process, as well as the results, of an evaluation. Separate decision models, a Markov process and a discrete event simulation (DES) model are applied to a case study evaluation comparing alternative adjuvant therapies for early breast cancer. The case study models are built and analysed as stochastic models: whereby prob

Abstract:

2010/2011<br>*Context* There is substantial interest in encouraging changes to travel behaviour with a view to accomplishing more sustainable mobility patterns. The underlying idea is that people respond to incentives and will alter their behaviour according to relative costs and benefits of different behavioural alternatives (e.g. the use of different transport modes for the commute trip). Utility-based discrete-choice models have become central methods to model behaviour with the aim of understanding how changes can be induced. Traditionally such models, however, assume that choices can be
