Robert Axelrod. Structure of Decision: the Cognitive Maps of Political Elites

Princeton University Press, 2007. - 390 pages. Voters today often desert a preferred candidate for a more viable second choice to avoid wasting their vote. Likewise, parties to a dispute often find themselves unable to agree on a fair division of contested goods. In Mathematics and Democracy, Steven Brams, a leading authority in the use of mathematics to design decision-making processes, shows how social-choice and game theory could make politi...

The MIT Press, 2012. - 376 pages. In Meaningful Games, Robin Clark explains in an accessible manner the usefulness of game theory in thinking about a wide range of issues in linguistics. Clark argues that we use grammar strategically to signal our intended meanings: our choices as speaker are conditioned by what choices the hearer will make interpreting what we say. Game theory-according to which the outcome of a decision depends on the choices...

Издательство InTech, 2010, -352 pp. As the quote above states, be willing to make decisions. This book by In-Tech publishing helps the reader understand the power of informed decision making by covering a broad range of DSS (Decision Support Systems) applications in the fields of medical, environmental, transport and business. The expertise of the chapter writers spans an equally extensive spectrum of researchers from around the globe including...

Princeton University. - June 2003 Abstract Article: We analyze decision-makers who make stochastic choices from sets of lotteries. A random choice rule associates with each decision problem a probability measure over the feasible choices. A random utility is a probability measure over von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions. We show that a random choice rule maximizes some random utility if and only if it is mixture continuous, monotone (the pr...

Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010. - 272 pages "Decision Systems and Nonstochastic Randomness presents the first mathematical formalization of the statistical regularities of non-stochastic randomness and demonstrates how these regularities extend the standard probability-based model of decision making under uncertainty, allowing for the description of uncertain mass events that do not fit standard stochastic models. Each self-contained c...

The purpose of this book is to serve as a text for developing mathematical modeling, computational, and algorithmic skills of optimization, and some of their elementary application at the junior level following a linear algebra course. Chapter 1 introduces mathematical modeling using a simple one variable example. This chapter also explains the classification of decision making problem into Category 1, and Category 2. Chapter 2 discusses MCDM...

Edward Elgar Pub, 2009. - 262 pages. Game theory is useful in understanding collective human activity as the outcome of interactive decisions. In recent years it has become a more prominent aspect of research and applications in public policy disciplines such as economics, philosophy, management and political science, and in work within public policy itself. Here Roger McCain makes use of the analytical tools of game theory with the pragmatic pu...
