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. Officially, however, a no decision bout resulted in neither boxer winning or losing. ref cite web title Newspaper decision url http boxrec.com media index.php Newspaper decision publisher BoxRec accessdate 18 March 2012 ref References references Combat sports decisions Category Boxing rules and regulations ... more details
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.

about decision theory the use in computer science decision rules In decision theory , a decision rule is a function which maps an observation to an appropriate action. Decision rules play an important role in the theory of statistics and economics , and are closely related to the concept of a strategy game theory strategy in game theory . In order to evaluate the usefulness of a decision rule, it is necessary to have a loss function detailing the outcome of each action under different states.

unreferenced date December 2007 A split decision is a winning criterion in several full contact combat sport s, such as boxing , kickboxing , Muay Thai , mixed martial arts and others sports involving strike attack striking in which two of the three judges score for the same fighter as the winner, while the third judge scores for the other fighter. A split decision is different from a majority decision , which occurs when two judges pick the same fighter as the winner, while the third judge scores a draw evenly for both fighters . Note that the effect is the same in both split and majority decision with the difference being that the margin of victory is greater in a majority decision. A split decision is the closest possible result in fights where there is a winner and a loser. Many times, a split decision causes controversy due to its lack of unanimity . As a result, especially in high profile or title bouts, the victor is encouraged or pressured to grant a rematch, in the hopes a return matchup will give a more decisive outcome.

Decision theology is the belief by some fundamentalist and evangelicalism evangelical sects of Christianity that individuals must make a conscious decision to accept and follow Jesus Christ be born again . Some Christian denominations object to the decision theology theory as contradicting the monergism of orthodox historic Protestantism . Many Fundamentalist Christianity fundamentalists and evangelicalism evangelicals adhere to a more severe version of monergism doctrine than do those in Lutheran or Reformed churches, and they also expect individuals to make a dramatic decision to commit themselves to Jesus Christ. Lutherans reject the decision theology of some modern evangelicals, believing that Faith receives the gift of salvation rather than causes salvation.

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.

In boxing, each of the three judges keep score round by round of which fighter he she feels is winning and losing . If all scheduled rounds are completed i.e., no knockout technical included , each judge totals the points for all rounds. If the same fighter scores more points than the other on 2 of the judges scorecards but the third judge scored equally for both fighters a draw the official victory is awarded to the agreed upon by a 2 to 1 majority fighter. If all judges rule for the same boxer, the decision is referred to a Unanimous Decision . The majority decision is frequently confused with the term split decision , but they are not the same. A split decision occurs when two judges pick the same fighter as the winner, while the third judge decides that the opposite fighter won. On very rare occasions, two judges vote for a draw while the third choses a winner this is a majority draw . Also pertaining to governmental decisions, using the same terms, that mean the same thing.
