Portfolio selection using stochastic dominance criteria
Article Abstract:
The efficiency of portfolio selection can be significantly improved by using distribution-free stochastic dominance criteria based on linear programming techniques. Stochastic dominance criteria present several advantages over the mean-variance criteria, including generally smaller admissible sets, sensitivity to skewness in security return distributions and applicability to a broader range of utility functions. The approach yields superior solutions when the data do not satisfy the assumptions of the mean-variance criterion.

Stochastic and intrasensitive behavior in a state-preference model of asset choice
Article Abstract:
An analysis describing investor behavior is presented. The analysis applies state preference model using a time-state dependent utility function. The analysis allows evaluation of an investment choice decision based on game theory. It is shown that the approach covers the possibility of anomalies such as intrasensitivity of preference and satisficing as rational behavior. A general solution presents a mixed strategy in determining an interpretation for the decision.

Decision making with uncertain judgments: a stochastic formulation of the analytic hierarchy process
Article Abstract:
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multicriterian decision-making method used in making challenging business decisions and troubleshoots in complexity and conflicting objectives. Different views, models for obtaining priorities and the alternatives were tested to reexamine quantitative judgments.
