Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to learn to give decisions in uncertain environments and in the presence of more than one objective.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will learn theoretical background information needed for making hard decisions under uncertainty and risky decisions.
  • Students will be able to develop models, methods and methodologies for the effective ways of making decisions under uncertain and multiple objective environments.
  • Students will be able to assess the value of information.
Course Content Decision making in uncertain environments, value of information, risk seeking and risk averse behavior, utility functions, multi-objective decision making, goal programming.
