However, experimental data shows that real decision makers choose such Bayes-optimal decisions surprisingly infrequently, often making decisions that are badly sub-optimal. So prevalent is such imperfect decision-making that it should be accepted as an inherent feature of real decision makers living within interacting societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo date such societies have been investigated from an economic and gametheoretic perspective, and even to a degree from a physics perspective. However, little research has been done from the perspective of computer science and associated disciplines like machine learning, information theory and neuroscience. This book is a major contribution to such research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the particular topics addressed include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- How should we formalise rational decision making of a single imperfect decision maker?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Does the answer change for a system of imperfect decision makers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Can we extend existing prescriptive theories for perfect decision makers to make them useful for imperfect ones?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- How can we exploit the relation of these problems to the control under varying and uncertain resources constraints as well as to the problem of the computational decision making?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- What can we learn from natural, engineered, and social systems to help us address these issues?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274834698391,"sku":"9783662507001","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783662507001.webp?v=1769281080","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/decision-making-with-imperfect-decision-makers-9783662507001","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
