A Utility-Based Approach to Some Information Measures
We review a decision theoretic, i.e., utility-based, motivation for entropy and KullbackLeibler relative entropy, the natural generalizations that follow, and various properties of these generalized quantities. We then consider these generalized quantities in an easily interpreted special case. We show that the resulting quantities, share many of the properties of entropy and relative entropy, ...
متن کاملA Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems
Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...
متن کاملA utility based approach to information for stochastic differential equations
A Bayesian perspective is taken to quantify the amount of information learned from observing a stochastic process, X,, on the interval [ 0, T] which satisfies the stochastic differential equation, dX, = S( 0, t, X,) dt + u( t, X,) dB,. Information is defined as a change in expected utility when the experimenter is faced with the decision problem of reporting beliefs about the parameter of inter...
متن کاملA Utility-Based Approach to Intention Recognition
Based on the assumption that a rational agent will adopt a plan that maximizes the expected utility, we present a utility-based approach to plan recognition problem in this paper. The approach explicitly takes the observed agent’s preferences into consideration, and computes the estimated expected utilities of plans to disambiguate competing hypotheses. Online plan recognition is realized by in...
متن کاملFuzzy Efficiency Measures in DEA: A New Approach based on Fuzzy DEA Approach with Double Frontiers
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to measure relative efficiency of a set of decision-making units (DMUs) which uses multiple inputs and produces multiple outputs. In the conventional DEA, crisp inputs and outputs are fundamentally necessary. But the observed values of inputs and outputs in real-world problems are sometimes imprecise. Thus, performance measurement often needs to be do...
