Course detail
Mathematical models of Decision Making
ÚSI-2SBMMAcad. year: 2011/2012
General approaches to decision making; fundamental decision making models; decision situations are introduced. Stochastic and optimization models as special branches of mathematical modelling are under focus. The presentation of principle ideas will be linked to themes discussed in the previous 2SAMZ course. The solution methods will be presented by using application areas-related examples and suitable software: Statistica, GAMS, Matlab.
