Epistemic Decision Theory [PDF]
Mind, 2013 I explore the prospects for modelling epistemic rationality (in the probabilist setting) via an epistemic decision theory, in a consequentialist spirit. Previous work has focused on cases in which the truth-values of the propositions in which the agent is selecting credences do not depend, either causally or merely evidentially, on the agent s choice ...

Pascal’s wager and the origins of decision theory: decision-making by real decision-makers [PDF]
, 2018 Pascal’s Wager does not exist in a Platonic world of possible gods, abstract probabilities and arbitrary payoffs. Real decision-makers, such as Pascal’s “man of the world” of 1660, face a range of religious options they take to be serious, with fixed ...

Interference and inequality in quantum decision theory [PDF]
, 2010 The quantum decision theory is examined in its simplest form of two-condition two-choice setting. A set of inequalities to be satisfied by any quantum conditional probability describing the decision process is derived.

Swimmer Assessment Model (SWAM): Expert System Supporting Sport Potential Measurement
IEEE Access, 2022 A swimmer’s potential can be exploited to the full if an individual approach is applied to training early enough. In the initial stage of a competitor’s career, it is hard to say whether the person will reach the world level.

Speech encoding by coupled cortical theta and gamma oscillations
eLife, 2015 Many environmental stimuli present a quasi-rhythmic structure at different timescales that the brain needs to decompose and integrate. Cortical oscillations have been proposed as instruments of sensory de-multiplexing, i.e., the parallel processing of ...

Causation and decision: On Dawid’s “Decision theoretic foundation of statistical causality”
Journal of Causal Inference, 2022 In a recent issue of this journal, Philip Dawid (2021) proposes a framework for causal inference that is based on statistical decision theory and that is, in many aspects, compatible with the familiar framework of causal graphs (e.g., Directed Acyclic ...

Strategic-decision quality in public organizations : an information processing perspective [PDF]
, 2018 This study draws on information processing theory to investigate predictors of strategic-decision quality in public organizations. Information processing theory argues that (a) rational planning practices contribute to strategic-decision quality by ...

Optimization of a GIS sensor layout based on global detection probability distribution evaluation
Cognitive Computation and Systems, 2021 Gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS) is an important power equipment. The implementation of health monitoring is limited by the number of sensors, and the global detection results of the system should be highly credible to ensure the reliability of the power ...
