Course detail
Mathematical models of Decision Making
ÚSI-RSMODAcad. year: 2020/2021
General approaches to decision-making; fundamental decision-making models; decision situations are introduced. Special attention will be paid to the branch of mathematical modelling: Stochastic and optimization models. The presented material will deepen students understanding of topics discussed in the previous RSMAT course. The related methods will be presented using examples of their application and involve the maximum use of suitable software: Statistica, GAMS and Matlab.
