Funding decision is one of the financial strategic decisions of a corporation. There are also two other finan-cial strategic decisions that a corporation faces, the investment and the dividend decision. This paper de-scribes briefly the investment and the dividend decision, although its main focus is on funding decision. In de-scribing the funding decision the researchers will first explain the...

This paper discusses decision making of project funding allocation under uncertain project costs. Because project costs are uncertain and funding allocations may not necessarily match the costs required, each project is inherently subject to a cost overrun risk (COR). In this paper, a model is proposed in which project cost is treated as a factor with a probability density function. The decisio...

Traditional linear statistical methods cannot provide effective prediction results due to the complexity of human mind. In this paper, we apply machine learning field funding allocation decision making, and try explore whether personal characteristics evaluators help predict outcome evaluation decision? how improve accuracy rate on imbalanced dataset grant funding? Since data is characterized b...

We offer a UK-based commentary on the recent “Perspective” published in IJHPM by Thakkar and Sullivan. We are sympathetic to the authors’ call for increased funding for health service and policy research (HSPR). However, we point out that increasing that investment – in any of the three countries they compare: Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom– will ipso facto not necessarily lea...

Previous papers have described a computational approach to System of Systems (SoS) development using an Agent-Based Model (ABM). This paper describes the Fuzzy Decision Analysis used in the negotiation between the SoS agent and a System agent in the ABM of an Acknowledged SoS development. An Acknowledged SoS has by definition a limited influence on the development of the individual Systems. The...

Purpose In this contribution to EDI's professional insights, the authors develop practical and evidence-based recommendations that are developed for bias mitigation, discretion elimination process optimization in panel evaluations decisions research funding. An analysis is made of how expectation “selling science” adds layers complexity evaluation decision process. The insights relevant similar...
