Learning attitudinal decision model through pair-wise preferences
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2018)This paper aims to learn a decision-maker’s (DM’s) behavioral process that is characterized in terms of the attitudinal character and the attributes weight vector, both of which are specific to the DM. The authors take the ... -
Modelling subjective utility through entropy
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-04)We introduce a novel entropy framework for the computation of utility on the basis of an agent’s subjective evaluation of the granularised information source values. A concept of evaluating agent as an information gain ... -
A Statistical model for helices with applications
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2018-03-22)Motivated by a cutting edge problem related to the shape of α-helices in proteins, we formulate a parametricstatistical model, which incorporates the cylindrical nature of the helix. Our focus is to detect a “kink,” which ... -
Does telecommuting promote sustainable travel and physical activity?
