Decision-Making in Blackjack: An Electrophysiological Analysis

Decision-making in Blackjack: an electrophysiological analysis.

Previous studies have identified a negative potential in the event-related potential (ERP), the error-related negativity (ERN), which is claimed to be triggered by a deviation from a reward expectation. Furthermore, this negativity is related to shifts in risk taking, strategic behavioral adjustments, and inhibition. We used a computer Blackjack gambling task to further examine the process asso...

Statistical Analysis of Two-lane Roundabout Data for Traffic Control Decision-Making in an Urban Area

Researches using existing statistics and data collected from the area of study help officials at decision-making, to improve the region's problems, like the problem of the high rate of accidents in the region, despite the low volume of daily service. The uses of roundabouts in many parts of the world have many advantages over intersections, amongst them are increased safety and capacity and red...

Benchmark Forecasting in Data Envelopment Analysis for Decision Making Units

Although DEA is a powerful method in evaluating DMUs, it does have some limitations. One of the limitations of this method is the result of the evaluation is based on previously data and the results are not proper for forecasting the future changes. So For this purpose, we design feedback loops for forecasting inputs and outputs through system dynamics and simulation. Then we use DEA model to f...

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

An MDP Blackjack Agent

In this paper an implementation of a Blackjack agent is discussed. The agent uses a Markov decision process (MDP) to learn about the game world of Blackjack and exploits its knowledge to play successfully. Value iteration and q-learning are used, allowing the agent to propagate its knowledge back to every state from the terminal states. Feature extraction is used to speed up this process, as th...
