The Dempster-Shafer theory provides a convenient framework for decision making based on very limited or weak information. Such situations typically arise in pattern recognition problems when patterns have to be classified based on a small number of training vectors, or when the training set does not

The goal of troubleshooting is to find an optimal solution strategy consisting of actions and observations for repairing a device. We assume a probabilistic model of dependence between possible faults, actions, and observations; the goal is to minimize the expected cost of repair (ECR). We show that
## Abstract Systematic analysis of the genetic background of complex diseases using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affords a tremendous amount of genotypings. To reduce the amount of genotypings necessary and hence the overall cost of a caseβcontrol study with SNPs, the genotyping is often
A crucial problem in economic decision (game) theory is to specify by an algorithm the standards of behaviour which determine the process of decision-making. Recent research has indicated that the attitude to risk is an important argument for finding unique solutions for decision problems. In this s
We separate the purely combinatorial component of An'ow's Impossibility Theorem in the theory of collective preference from its decision-theoretic part, and likewise for the closely related result of Blair/Bordes/Kelly/Suzumura. Such a separation provides a particularly elegant proof of the former,
Rationality postulates for preferences are developed from two basic decision theoretic principles, namely: (1) the logic of preference is determined by paradigmatic cases in which preferences are choice-guiding, and (2) excessive comparison costs should be avoided. It is shown how the logical requir
