Stochastic-Tree Models in Medical Decision Making
The stochastic tree is a recently introduced generalization of the decision tree which allows the explicit depiction of temporal uncertainty, while still employing the familiar rollback procedure for decision trees. We offer in this paper an introduction to stochastic tree modeling and techniques involved in their application to medical treatment decisions. We also describe an application of th...
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...
متن کاملStochastic dominance and medical decision making.
Stochastic Dominance (SD) criteria are decision making tools which allow us to choose among various strategies with only partial information on the decision makers' preferences. The notion of Stochastic Dominance has been extensively employed and developed in the area of economics, finance, agriculture, statistics, marketing and operation research since the late 1960s. For example, it may tell ...
متن کاملDecision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices
The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
متن کاملLink function selection in stochastic multicriteria decision making models
A stochastic formulation of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) using an approach based on Bayesian categorical data models has been developed. However, in categorical data models it is known that the selection of the link function may have an impact on the model estimates. In particular, the selection of the probit link implies an assumption that model error terms are normally distributed and...
