Decision theory for agents with incomplete preferences
Orthodox decision theory gives no advice to agents who hold two goods to be incommensurate in value because such agents will have incomplete preferences. According to standard treatments, rationality requires complete preferences, so such agents are irrational. Experience shows, however, that incomplete preferences are ubiquitous in ordinary life. In this paper, we aim to do two things: () sho...
متن کاملKnowledge Entropy and Feature Selection in Incomplete Decision Systems
In this paper, concepts of knowledge entropy and knowledge entropy-based uncertainty measures are given in incomplete information systems and decision systems, and some important properties of them are investigated. From these properties, it can be shown that these measures provide important approaches to measure the uncertainty ability of different knowledge in incomplete decision systems. The...
متن کاملCase-Based Decision Theory and Knowledge Representation
When we address the question of how should we represent knowledge, we should first ask ourselves what is there to know. It seems unarguable that "knowledge representation" should only deal with the representation of that which can be known. In this note we take the somewhat extreme view that one can never k n o w a rule. At least since Hume (1748), it has been recognized that the process of ind...
متن کاملLogic, Knowledge Representation, and Bayesian Decision Theory
In this paper I give a brief overview of recent work on uncertainty inAI, and relate it to logical representations. Bayesian decision theory and logic are both normative frameworks for reasoning that emphasize different aspects of intelligent reasoning. Belief networks (Bayesian networks) are representations of independence that form the basis for understanding much of the recent work on reason...

BASIC TOPICS IN DECISION THEORY Decision theory pertains to human decision making in a world of incomplete information and incomplete human control over events. Decision theory posits two players: a cognitive human and a randomizing nature. The human, called the decision maker, performs analyses, makes calculations, and cognitively decides upon a course of action in an effort to optimize his or...
