An Associative Memory Approach to Healthcare Monitoring and Decision Making

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

An Evolutionary Approach to Group Decision Making

We propose modeling Group Support System (GSS) search tasks with Genetic Algorithms. Using explicit mathematical models for Genetic Algorithms (GAs), we show how to estimate the underlying GA parameters from an observed GSS solution path. Once these parameters are estimated, they may be related to GSS variables such as group composition and membership, leadership presence, the specific GSS tool...

An approach to ordinal decision making

We describe the problem of decision making under ignorance and discuss the need of introducing a decision attitude or disposition in solving this problem. We show the OWA operators provide a general framework for evaluating the alternatives when the payoffs are numeric values. We then turn to the problem of decision making when the payoffs are linguistic values drawn from an ordinal scale. A so...

Bringing evidence to healthcare decision making.

key principle underlying the Excellent Care for All Act was the importance of evidence in guiding decisions across the healthcare system. The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) has led pan-Canadian efforts for several years to bring evidence to decisions about what will be covered and what will not be covered in Canadian healthcare. In this interview, the CEO of CADTH ...

Memory and decision making.

The only reason we remember things is to make better decisions. What is memory? Memory can be defined as any physical change that carries information about the historical past. Typically, in animal systems, memory is stored in physical changes inside How these physical changes affect information processing depends on how those systems compute information processing. In practice, memory needs to...
