MEASURABLE STRATEGIES IN DIFFERENTIAL GAMES
Mathematics of the USSR-Sbornik, 1990The author investigates nonlinear convergence-evasion games in the class of measurable strategies. It is well-known that such games have a saddle point and a value within the framework of a conception of a strictly formalized positional differential game developed by \textit{N. N. Krasovskij} and \textit{A. I.

Strategies for Measuring Virtues
2020Abstract In Chapter 3 we use our working conception of virtue developed in Chapter 1 to anchor an integrated proposal for virtue measurement. More specifically, we argue that what is needed to accurately measure any virtue is a multilayered research program that allows us to track the degree to which a person exhibits each of several ...

Measuring the performance of strategy
Measuring Business Excellence, 2020Purpose This paper aims to look at the problems of measuring the performance of business strategy. The authors look at the problem using two classical performance management paradigms and suggest a third approach which treats strategy as a stochastic network of actors and manoeuvres between those actors.

Strategies for sound internet measurement
Proceedings of the 4th ACM SIGCOMM conference on Internet measurement, 2004Conducting an Internet measurement study in a sound fashion can be much more difficult than it might first appear. We present a number of strategies drawn from experiences for avoiding or overcoming some of the pitfalls. In particular, we discuss dealing with errors and inaccuracies; the importance of associating meta-data with measurements; the ...

Measuring consumption in households: Interpretations and strategies
Ecological Economics, 2008The paper discusses the connection between environmental awareness and metering data on household consumption (electricity, heating, water), and it is based on recent Danish studies. It is discussed, how families' understanding of environmental awareness and environmental practices relates to their overall household consumption.

Strategies for Character Measurement
2020Abstract Chapter 5 takes offers strategies for the measurement of character as a whole, not just of specific virtues. Specifically, it discusses measuring virtue constellations to describe the co-manifestation of multiple virtues that (in part) constitute a person’s character; the measurement of the regulative function of practical ...

Strategies for Measuring Virtue
2020Abstract Chapter 2 provides a review and evaluation of work that has been and is currently being done on virtue measurement. It is divided into five parts. The first provides a brief primer on quantitative measurement. The second discusses strategies for measuring discrete, single virtues, namely, gratitude, courage, honesty, compassion,

Measuring the likely effectiveness of strategies
1996Where we have measurable attributes and multiple possible strategies within an expert system there are situations where the theory of belief functions requires refinement and explanation. Given a set of attributes for which mapping exists to a topology of strategies, I will show how we refine Dempster-Shafer theory to interpret both combinations of ...
