eng Abstract:
Decision making (DM), broadly interpreted as an active choice among alternatives, is ubiquitous. A range of normative theories has arisen aiming at support and analysis of DM. Classical Savage's axiomatisation led to Bayesian DM, which suits DM with a non-negligible uncertainty. Observed discrepancies between recommendations of the normative theory and DM practice represent the major challenge of the related research. The talk discusses these discrepancies, and: a) respects the presence of imperfect decision maker; b) considers neglecting of importance of closed-loop behaviour as their major cause; c) provides tasks where a) and b) do matter and where a unified view on imperfection roots can help.
