Course Contents
This course is one of the most important parts of the operations research course and learns the logical ways to choose the best from more than one alternative. The degree of "goodness" of the chosen alternative depends on the quality of the data describing the decision situation. Based on this perspective, it can be said that a decision making process can be evaluated within one of the following categories: 1. In the uncertainty environment, the extent to which the available data relates to the decision process is not known. 2. The data available in decision making problems in the risk environment cannot be identified with a certain probability distribution. 3. It is assumed that the data are defined in a deterministic way in decision-making problems in the setting environment. Determination of effective solutions in decision-making problems in multi-criteria environment is carried out under the condition of optimizing more than one criterion at the same time. In this course, students will be able to determine their decision situations, determine and use decision rules based on this situation, decision trees, utility theory, evaluation methods of information and additional information, multi-criteria decision models, solution concepts for these models and calculation methods of solutions, target programming. problems and methods of analysis of their solutions are taught.
