Unreferenced date June 2009 Context date October 2010 About the decision model other uses Appraisal disambiguation A Decision making decision method is an axiom atic system that contains at least one action axiom . Formulation is the first and often most challenging stage in using formal decision methods and in decision analysis in particular . The objective of the formulation stage is to develop a formal model of the given decision. Evaluation is the second and most algorithm ic stage in using formal decision methods. The objective of the evaluation stage is to produce a formal recommendation and its associated sensitivities from a formal model of the decision situation. Appraisal is the third and last stage in using formal decision methods. The objective of the appraisal stage is for the decision maker to develop insight into the decision and determine a clear course of action. Much of the insight developed in this stage results from exploring the implications of the formal decision model developed during the formulation stage i.e., from mining the model . Central to these implications is the formal recommendation for action calculated during the evaluation stage. Other implications include various forms of Sensitivity and specificity sensitivity of the recommendation to selected variables in the model. Additional insight is obtained by exposing key aspects of the reasoning that led to the formal decision model i.e., by justifying the model . Possible actions following the appraisal ... it, or abandoning the analysis and doing something else. Justifying a decision model is the action of exploring and explaining the reasoning that led to the formulation of a particular decision model. Mining a decision model is the action of extracting information e.g., sensitivity, value of information , and value of control from a given decision model.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In a statistical classification statistical classification problem with two classes, a decision boundary or decision surface is a hypersurface that partitions the underlying vector space into two sets, one for each class. The classifier will classify all the points on one side of the decision boundary as belonging to one class and all those on the other side as belonging to the other class. If the decision surface is a hyperplane , then the classification problem is linear, and the classes are linearly separable . Decision boundaries are not always clear cut. That is, the transition from one class in the feature space to another is not discontinuous, but gradual. This effect is common in fuzzy logic based classification algorithms, where membership in one class or another is ambiguous. In ANNs and SVMs In the case of backpropagation based artificial neural network s or perceptron s, the type of decision boundary that the network can learn is determined by the number of hidden layers the network has. If it has no hidden layers, then it can only learn linear problems. If it has one hidden layer, then it can learn problems with convex decision boundaries and some concave decision boundaries . The network can learn more complex problems if it has two or more hidden layers. In particular, support vector machine s find a hyperplane that separates the feature space into two classes with the maximum margin hyperplane maximum margin . If the problem is not originally linearly separable, the kernel trick is used to turn it into a linearly separable one, by increasing the number of dimensions. Thus a general hypersurface in a small dimension space is turned into a hyperplane in a space with much larger dimensions. Neural networks try to learn the decision boundary which minimizes the empirical error, while support vector machines try to learn the decision boundary which gives the best generalization.

intelligence decision making system that uses decision trees to make decisions based on users ...A decision engine is a type of web search engine that uses input gathered from the user in order to provide more relevant or targeted results. Traditional search engines provide results based on key words and site popularity meaning that all users searching for the same phrase receive identical results. A decision engine uses input to provide customized results for each individual. Overview Typically, a decision engine operates in one of two ways. The first is to ask for input at the time of search. For example, when searching for a digital camera, the engine will allow the user to specify the importance of criteria, such as screen size, megapixels, zoom, body color, etc. The engine then provides a list only of items that match the user s conditions, removing the need for them to compare specs for all items manually. The second way a decision engine can function is by forming a long term relationship with the user in order to establish preferences and tastes. Once the engine has a stable profile of the user, it is able to provide very accurate, individual results based on that familiarity. For example if the user has been using a decision engine to search for puppies and the user inputs the search query Doxin , then results including dogs will be ranked more highly.

A newspaper decision was a decision in professional boxing rendered by a consensus of sportswriters attending a bout after a no decision bout had ended. A no decision bout occurred when, either under the aegis of state boxing law or by an arrangement between the fighters, both boxers were still standing at the end of a fight and there had been no knockout, no official decision had been made, and neither boxer was declared the winner. The newspaper reporters covering the fight, after reaching a consensus, would declare a winner and print the newspaper decision in their publications.
