Decision making in livestock conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the theory and practical implementations of decision-making in livestock conservation and suggested that the objective of livestock conservation is a composite of maintaining between and within breed diversity and single breeds of recognised value.

Using Bayesian decision analysis to help achieve a precautionary approach for managing developing fisheries
M K McAllister,G P Kirkwood +1 more
TL;DR: This work applied Bayesian decision analysis to a hypothetical developing fishery in which a logistic model was fitted to catch per unit effort data and evaluated the trade-offs in yield and the risk of depletion of catch and effort control rules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendation System for Adaptive Learning.
TL;DR: A mathematical framework is proposed that characterizes the recommendation process as a Markov decision problem, for which decisions are made based on the current knowledge of the learner and that of the learning materials.

Modelling accelerated failure time with a Dirichlet process
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between survival times and covariates is modelled via the accelerated failure time model with a Dirichlet process prior assumed for the underlying baseline survival fucntion.

Statistical decisions under ambiguity
Jörg Stoye,Jörg Stoye +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide unified axiomatic foundations for the most common optimality criteria in statistical decision theory, including Bayesianism, the statistical minimax principle, the Hurwicz criterion, minimax regret, and the preference ordering that rationalizes admissibility.
