Handling uncertainty in DEX methodology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents approaches to representation and use of uncertain knowledge in decision models of DEX methodology. A short introduction to this methodology is given, followed by a presentation of representation methods for uncertain input values and uncertain value functions. The emphasis is on the latter, since these were recently developed and adopted. Attention is given also to the representation method of higher level uncertainty in value functions, which represents a current response to the practical needs we identified, but remains open to further theoretical improvement.

Effect of early handling of turkey poults on later responses to multiple dexamethasone-Escherichia coli challenge. 2. Resistance to air sacculitis and turkey osteomyelitis complex.
Dexamethasone (DEX)-induced immunosuppression facilitates Escherichia coli pathogenesis leading to lesions of air sacculitis and turkey osteomyelitis complex (TOC). The purpose of this study was to determine if early handling could affect resistance to disease in this model. Seven hundred twenty male turkey poults were handled 0, 1 (1x), or 2 (2x) times daily for the first 10 d after hatch. Han...
متن کاملApproximating Dex Utility Functions with Methods Uta and Acuta
DEX is a qualitative multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method, aimed at supporting decision makers in evaluating and choosing decision alternatives. We present results of a preliminary study in which we experimentally assessed the performance of two wellknown MCDA methods UTA and ACUTA to approximate qualitative DEX utility functions with piecewise-linear marginal utility functions. This ...
متن کاملHandling Uncertainty in the Development and Design of Chemical Processes
The paper presents a stochastic methodology for handling uncertainty in process development as part of a general framework for batch and continuous process models. The method combines systematic modelling procedures with Hammersley sampling based uncertainty analysis and a range of sample-based sensitivity analysis techniques, used to quantify predicted performance uncertainty and identify key ...
متن کاملEffect of early handling of turkey poults on later responses to a dexamethasone-Escherichia coli challenge. 1. Production values and physiological response.
The stress responses of mice and rats has been shown to be permanently altered by brief, gentle handling during the first 10 d of life, resulting in increased BW and resistance to stress-induced immunosuppression. The purpose of this study was to determine whether early handling of turkey poults could permanently affect production values and physiology of adult turkeys. Turkey poults were handl...
متن کاملExtending the Scope of Robust Optimization: Comprehensive Robust Counterparts of Uncertain Problems
In this paper, we propose a new methodology for handling optimization problems with uncertain data. With the usual Robust Optimization paradigm, one looks for the decisions ensuring a required performance for all realizations of the data from a given bounded uncertainty set, whereas with the proposed approach, we require also a controlled deterioration in performance when the data is outside th...
