Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the first approximation, decision making is nothing else but an optimization problem:We want to select the best alternative. This description, however, is not fullyaccurate: it implicitly assumes that we know the exact consequences of each decision,and that, once we have selected a decision, no constraints prevent us fromimplementing it. In reality, we usually know the consequences with some uncertainty,and there are also numerous constraints that needs to be taken into account.The presence of uncertainty and constraints makes decision making challenging.To resolve these challenges, we need to go beyond simple optimization, we alsoneed to get a good understanding of how the corresponding systems and objectsoperate, a good understanding of why we observe what we observe - this will helpus better predict what will be the consequences of different decisions. All theseproblems - in relation to different application areas - are the main focus of thisbook.…
