چکیده
We present a theory of decision by sampling (DbS) in which, in contrast with traditional models, there are no underlying psychoeconomic scales. Instead, we assume that an attribute's subjective value is constructed from a series of binary, ordinal comparisons to a sample of attribute values drawn from memory and is its rank within the sample. We assume that the sample reflects both the immediate distribution of attribute values from the current decision's context and also the background, real-world distribution of attribute values. DbS accounts for concave utility functions; losses looming larger than gains; hyperbolic temporal discounting; and the overestimation of small probabilities and the underestimation of large probabilities.

An Iterative Decision Rule to minimize cost of Acceptance Sampling Plan in Machine Replacement Problem
In this paper, we presented an optimal iterative decision rule for minimizing total cost in designing a sampling plan for machine replacement problem using the approach of dynamic programming and Bayesian inferences. Cost of replacing the machine and cost of defectives produced by machine has been considered in model. Concept of control threshold policy has been applied for decision making. If ...

Recent research in decision making reported a description-experience (DE) gap: opposite risky choices when decisions are made from descriptions (gambles in which probability distributions and outcomes are explicitly stated) and when decisions are made from experience (the knowledge of the gambles is obtained by sampling outcomes from unknown probability distributions before making a choice). Th...

Management theorists insist on the importance of the participation of employees in decision making processes, as it will affect their performance and the output of the work to be done in an easier way. The aim of this study, was to determine head nurses' level of participative decision making and its relationship to their satisfaction level. This study was a correlational study in which, head...
متن کاملRISK ASSESSMENT BEHAVIOUR 1 Running head: RISK ASSESSMENT BEHAVIOUR The Influence of Experience upon Information-sampling and Decision-Making Behaviour during Risk Assessment in Military Personnel
We examined the influence of experience upon information-sampling and decisionmaking behaviour in a group of military personnel as they conducted risk assessments of scenes photographed from patrol routes during the recent conflict in Afghanistan. Their risk assessment was based on an evaluation of Potential Risk Indicators during examination of each scene. We found that both participant groups...
متن کاملDesign of single-sampling inspection-plan approach by mathematical programming and linear assignment method
This study proposes a new approach for single-sampling plan by determining sample size and acceptance number. The proposed approach is based on a two-step methodology. In the first step: quality management step, different single sampling inspection plans were generated by running an optimization model for different possible acceptance numbers. While, in the second step: Multi-Attribute Decision...
