New approach to the decision analysis in conditions of uncertainty – Info-Gap Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new method of decision-making in conditions of severe uncertainty in application to a problem. The method has not been introduced in Poland yet and is still in the early development stage in Europe. Because the method is difficult to understand it was illustrated by the example of its application to evaluation of the project duration time. The paper also presents a proposal of decoupling a hypothesis relating to an outcome from the outcome itself in form of the incompatibility function of the hypothesis.

A practical approach to open-pit mine planning under price uncertainty using information gap decision theory
In the context of open-pit mine planning, uncertainties including commodity price would significantly affect the technical and financial aspects of mining projects. A mine planning that takes place regardless of the uncertainty in price just develops an optimized plan at the starting time of the mining operation. Given the price change over the life of mine, which is quite certain, optimality o...
متن کاملEureka ! Info - Gap is Worst - Case Analysis ( Maximin ) in Disguise !
Info-Gap is supposedly a new theory for decision making under severe uncertainty. Its claim to fame is that it is non-probabilistic in nature and thus offers an alternative to all current theories for decision making under uncertainty. In this short article I show that Info-Gap is neither new nor radically different from current decision theories. Specifically, I formally prove that Info-Gap’s ...

The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts under uncertainty to assess green supplier development programs (GSDPs) via interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). Possibility theory is employed to regard uncertainty by IVFSs. A n...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Flaw in Info-Gap’s Uncertainty Model
Info-Gap is supposedly a new theory for decision making under severe uncertainty. Its claim to fame is that it is non-probabilistic in nature and thus offers an alternative to all current theories for decision making under uncertainty. In this short article I explain why Info-Gap’s uncertainty model is flawed and why there is no reason to believe that the solutions generated by Info-Gap are lik...
