| Aim | The aim of this course is to develop students' skills in using numerical decision analysis methods. Since an indispensable feature of intelligence in humans or machines is the ability to choose between alternatives, it is aimed to improve students' decision-making skills. |
| Course Content | This course contains; Measurement and Quantification,Searching optimal and good enough solutions: Rationality and bounded rationality,Decision making environments and characteristic of decision problems,Decision under ignorance (uncertainty),Decision under risk,Sequential decisions and decision trees,Bayesian decision analysis,Markov Analysis,Group Decisions and consensus,Game theoretic modeling of decision making,Introduction to Multi-Criteria Decision Making: Basic Concepts,Multi-Criteria Decision Making – Analytic Hierarchy Process ,Multi-Criteria Decision Making – TOPSIS ,Simulation: Basic Concepts and Applications. |
