A stochastic dynamic programming approach to decision making in arranged marriages
We employ a stochastic dynamic programming approach to study decision making by an individual wishing to have an arranged marriage. First, we show that this individual never opts out of a voluntarily agreed uponmarriage. Second, we demonstrate that our marrying individual uses a reservation utility to determine which marriage proposal to accept. Third, we compute the expected length of time dur...
متن کاملModelling and Decision-making on Deteriorating Production Systems using Stochastic Dynamic Programming Approach
This study aimed at presenting a method for formulating optimal production, repair and replacement policies. The system was based on the production rate of defective parts and machine repairs and then was set up to optimize maintenance activities and related costs. The machine is either repaired or replaced. The machine is changed completely in the replacement process, but the productio...
متن کاملStochastic Investment Decision Making with Dynamic Programming
Proper investment decision making is key to success for every investor in their efforts to keep pace with the competitive business environment. Mitigation of exposure to risk plays a vital role, since investors are now directly exposed to the uncertain decision environment. The uncertainty (and risk) of an investment is increasing with the increased number of competing investors entering to mar...
متن کاملDynamic Decision Making in Stochastic
The focus of this paper is the framework of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) and its role in modeling and solving complex dynamic decision problems in stochastic and partially observable medical domains. The paper summarizes some of the basic features of the POMDP framework and explores its potential in solving the problem of the management of the patient with chronic isc...
متن کاملStochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments
Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...
