چکیده
Title of dissertation: UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION USE IN MULTIATTRIBUTE DECISION MAKING Jeffrey S. Chrabaszcz, Doctor of Philosophy, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Professor Michael R. Dougherty Department of Psychology An inference task in one in which some known set of information is used to produce an estimate about an unknown quantity. Existing theories of how humans make inferences include specialized heuristics that allow people to make these inferences in familiar environments quickly and without unnecessarily complex computation. Specialized heuristic processing may be unnecessary, however; other research suggests that the same patterns in judgment can be explained by existing patterns in encoding and retrieving memories. This dissertation compares and attempts to reconcile three alternate explanations of human inference. After justifying three hierarchical Bayesian version of existing inference models, the three models are compared on simulated, observed, and experimental data. The results suggest that the three models capture different patterns in human behavior but, based on posterior prediction using laboratory data, potentially ignore important determinants of the decision process.

Multiattribute Decision Making Methods Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets
The concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set can be reconsidered as an approach for defining a fuzzy set In cases where the available information is not enough to define an inaccurate concept of an ordinary fuzzy set. In sum, the theory of fuzzy sets is generalized intuitionistic fuzzy sets. It seems that quantitative research on multiattribute or multi-criteria decision making problems have been...
متن کاملA Compromise Ratio Ranking Method of Triangular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers\ and Its Application to MADM Problems
Triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs) is a special case of intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) set and the ranking of TIFNs is an important problem. The aim of this paper is to develop a new methodology for ranking TIFNs by using multiattribute decision making methods (MADM). In this methodology, the value and ambiguity indices of TIFNs may be considered as the attributes and the TIFNs in compa...

While advances in medical treatment and technologies have the potential to improve the delivery of health care, their use typically involves making multiple, complex decisions. Patients and their medical providers may share in the decision-making processes and balance a variety of criteria and/or attributes in the pursuit of improved health. This necessitates a stronger understanding of the rol...
