The Strategic Multi-Attribute Ranking Tool for Vaccines SMART Vaccines allows decision makers to specify their own value structure, selecting from among 28 pre-defined and up to 7 user-defined attributes relevant to the ranking of vaccine candidates.
Based on these ideas, we give the details of the computational method by combining estimation of distribution algorithm with some traditional method for solving problems (7) and (10) as follows: Step 1 Ask the decision makers to specify the probability levels (beta_{i}, i=1,2,ldots,m), weighting factor θ, target interval (C^{I}) and optimism degree of the upper level decision maker γ.
In the future, this type of approach may be incorporated into both cancer epidemiologic studies and clinical decision making to specify the use of many targeted anticancer agents.
Most benefits are explicitly but vaguely defined by the law, leaving it to decision makers to specify which services to offer to patients.
The CVaR methodology allows the decision-maker to specify to what extent worst-case scenarios should be avoided and the corresponding costs associated with such a policy.
