They face a finite horizon decision and choose among the different options that they have as in the seminal paper of (Keane and Wolpin 1997).
As resources are finite, decision making requires consideration not only of the benefits to a patient of a health care intervention, but its impact on other patients consuming other diverse health care services: committing resources to one intervention means they cannot be employed, or must be withdrawn from, elsewhere.
TOPSIS, developed by Hwang and Yoon [12], is one of the most popular multiple criteria decision analysis techniques for evaluating a finite set of decision alternatives in terms of a set of potentially conflicting criteria.
The relationship between control states, defined through a set of task-dependent features, and the appropriate skills for pursuing the task is learned as a finite observable Markov decision process (MDP).
The presented system evaluates the driver's driving skills and attention level by comparing the expert and human driver's reactions suited in a finite set of decision and maneuvering task.
The optimization problem in (4) can be formulated into a finite horizon Markov decision process framework and the optimal transmission schedule can be found using the backward induction algorithm, which is a dynamic programming approach.
She says that because we can only make a finite number of decisions per day, and we spend those decisions on "ridiculous stuff," we won't have enough space to think through important decisions like these.
Starting from these information, a finite state machine based decision process can be employed to evaluate the score of each action of the game.
In addition to linguistic states, the evolving laws of type-II LDS are modeled by a finite number of linguistic decision rules.
While the algorithm in [8] bases on queue lengths between nodes to make routing decision, the algorithm in [9] is derived from a finite-state Markovian decision problem.
