A great number of studies have been done on decision support systems. There is no work done on how a machine can intelligently help a decision maker in making appropriate choice for judgmental inputs for the decision support systems. Decisional guidance is a guidance for judgmental inputs while user is interacting with a decision support system (DSS). Traditionally the guidance provided by the ...

The corridor illusion was assessed in four baboons (Papio papio) by way of judgmental task implying a comparison between the size of two figures presented on various backgrounds. Findings demonstrate that the baboons are sensitive to the corridor illusion.

OBJECTIVE In a previous study, we demonstrated that amygdala reactivity to masked negative facial emotions predicts negative judgmental bias in healthy subjects. In the present study, we extended the paradigm to a sample of 35 inpatients suffering from depression to investigate the effect of amygdala reactivity on automatic negative judgmental bias and clinical characteristics in depression. ...

Previous decision analysis literature has established the presence of judgmental errors in the quantile judgments provided by an expert. However a systematic approach to using quantile judgments to deduce the mean and standard deviation of the underlying probability distribution while accounting for judgmental errors has not yet been established. This paper develops an optimization based approa...

The goal of holonic manufacturing systems is to attain in manufacturing the benefits that holonic organization provides to living organisms and societies, i.e., stability in the face of disturbances, adaptability and flexibility in the face of change, and efficient use of available resources. A key attribute of this kind of system is the ability to define the reasoning model for independent hol...

Financial market prediction is one of the most attractive research areas in financial data mining field because of its available data and potential profits. Financial market prediction has been paid much attention by many researchers and practitioners. Huge numbers of forecasting methods including judgmental methods and statistical methods have been proposed. In previous studies, judgmental met...

s from any particular notion of e ect (such as update of mutable references, or raising of exceptions). In this way, it is similar to modal logic which reasons about necessity and possibility, but abstracts from any particular collection of worlds. Benton, Biermann and de Paiva [BBdP98] showed that the computational -calculus is connected to lax logic via proof term assignment. We show the rele...
