in many applications, ranking of decision making units (dmus) is a problematic technical task procedure to decision makers in data envelopment analysis (dea), especially when there are extremely efficient dmus. in such cases, many dea models may usually get the same efficiency score for different dmus. hence, there is a growing interest in ranking techniques yet. the purpose of this paper is ra...

The proposed self-adaptive predictive pursuing policy consists of an action decision-making procedure and a procedure of adjusting the estimation of evader’s action preference. Since correct estimation of opponent’s intention would do good to win adversarial games, it introduces the conception of action preference to model opponent’s decision-making. Because evader often has different action pr...

Misuse and overuse of medical imaging have gained widespread attention due to rising costs, radiation exposure risks, and limited comparative effectiveness evidence. Involving patients in shared decision making offers an opportunity to more clearly define risks and benefits, thus allowing patients to consider both personal values and the best available evidence.

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

This paper presents an analytic procedure for the value added to different production levels with different policy options. The approach is stochastic and thus provides a framework for informed decision-making on productivity growth under uncertainty conditions. The model was applied to data collected from a firm and re-sults recommend that the firm should redevelop if in diversification and sy...
