Stochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments
Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...
متن کاملA model of human collective decision-making in complex environments
A continuous-time Markov process is proposed to analyze how a group of humans solves a complex task, consisting in the search of the optimal set of decisions on a fitness landscape. Individuals change their opinions driven by two different forces: (i) the rational behavior which pushes them to change their opinions as to increase their own fitness values, and (ii) the social interactions which ...
متن کاملTeam Decision Making in Complex, Time-Sensitive Environments
The goal of the FY04 Air Force Mission Oriented Investigation and Experimentation (MOIE), “Improving Time-Sensitive Team Decision Making,” was to study teams of operators in realistic time-sensitive venues. We sought to understand the kinds of tasks and functions people perform in these collaborative environments, why the tasks are so challenging, how they are currently done, and how to better ...
متن کاملSerotonin shapes risky decision making in monkeys.
Some people love taking risks, while others avoid gambles at all costs. The neural mechanisms underlying individual variation in preference for risky or certain outcomes, however, remain poorly understood. Although behavioral pathologies associated with compulsive gambling, addiction and other psychiatric disorders implicate deficient serotonin signaling in pathological decision making, there i...
متن کاملNoise improves collective decision-making by ants in dynamic environments.
Recruitment via pheromone trails by ants is arguably one of the best-studied examples of self-organization in animal societies. Yet it is still unclear if and how trail recruitment allows a colony to adapt to changes in its foraging environment. We study foraging decisions by colonies of the ant Pheidole megacephala under dynamic conditions. Our experiments show that P. megacephala, unlike many...
