A Tutorial Introduction to Decision Theory
Decision theory provides a rational framework for choosing between alternative courses of action when the consequences resulting from this choice are imperfectly known. Two streams of thought serve as the foundations: utility theory and the inductive use of probability theory. The intent of this paper is to provide a tutorial introduction to this increasingly important area of systems science. ...
متن کاملInformation Theory: A Tutorial Introduction
Shannon’s mathematical theory of communication defines fundamental limits on how much information can be transmitted between the different components of any man-made or biological system. This paper is an informal but rigorous introduction to the main ideas implicit in Shannon’s theory. An annotated reading list is provided for further reading.
متن کاملAn Introduction to Decision Theory
This up-to-date introduction to decision theory offers comprehensive and accessible discussions of decision making under ignorance and risk, the foundations of utility theory, the debate over subjective and objective probability, Bayesianism, causal decision theory, game theory and social choice theory. No mathematical skills are assumed, and all concepts and results are explained in non-techni...
متن کاملA Tutorial Introduction to STAPLE
Introduction STAPLE is an expectation-maximization algorithm for Simultaneous Truth And Performance Level Estimation. The algorithm considers a collection of segmentations and computes a probabilistic estimate of the hidden, implicit, true segmentation and a measure of the performance level achieved by each segmentation. The source of each segmentation in the collection may be an appropriately ...
متن کاملA Tutorial Introduction to Alkemy
This paper serves as a tutorial introduction to Alkemy, a decision-tree learner designed to induce comprehensible theories from structured data. A short and clear account of the motivations behind the development of the system is in [FGCL98]. [BGCL01] gives a more detailed discussion of the relevant knowledge representation issues and presents the main algorithms. A rigorous treatment of the lo...
