چکیده

Deferred decision making (DDM) refers to when an individual collects evidence about two or more risky alternatives and decides when to stop and make a final choice. Real world examples include physicians running tests before diagnosing an illness, or commanders collecting intelligence before taking military action. We conducted a DDM study aimed at investigating how people know when to defer a decision and when to stop sampling and make a choice. Participants could purchase up to ten independent observations about two mutually exclusive hypotheses before making a final choice. Their goal was to make accurate choices, while minimizing sampling costs. We tested several cognitive models and found that a sequential sampling model (SSM) outperformed others build on heuristic or planning frameworks. According to the SSM, individuals make explicit decisions to wait and sample more, and require less evidence to make a final choice over time due to collapsing decision bounds.

The effects of misclassification errors on multiple deferred state attribute sampling plan

Multiple deferred state (MDS) sampling plan by attribute in which current lot and future lots information is utilised on sentencing submitted lot, is constructed under the assumption of perfect inspection. But sometimes the inspection may not be free of inspection errors. In this paper, we develop MDS-plan by attribute to the state where misclassification errors exist during the inspection. In ...

A new non oriented models for calculating the efficiency of decision-making units in the presence of flexible variables

In assessing the relative efficiency of decision-maker units by classical Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, the status of the data is determined from the input or output points of views. In real issues, there are some data whose statuses are debatable. Some decision making units consider them as input to achieve higher efficiency while some other decision making units consider them ...

Ranking Efficient Decision Making Units Using Cooperative Game Theory Based on SBM Input-Oriented Model and Nucleolus Value

In evaluating the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models, may be more than one DMU has an efficiency score equal to one. Since ranking of efficient DMUs is essential for decision makers, therefore, methods and models for this purpose are presented. One of ranking methods of efficient DMUs is cooperative game theory. In this study, Lee and Lozano mod...
