On Using Discrete Random Models within Decision Support Systems
Article Abstract:
Discrete random system modeling is analyzed in light of its usefulness to practical decision making. Organizational requirements are highly dispositive of the type of model to be used. Practical examples of Markov chain models and decision models, as well as cohort models are used to demonstrate the organizational requirements link. Technical and social applications are both used. Models can range from the descriptive to optimization type. Models can be applied using either straight forward numerical analysis or interactive modeling methods for management evaluation. Numerical methods are shown to the model's structure in addition to application considerations. Model selection has a high impact on computational possibilities. A vehicle insurance company is the focus of various modeling applications. Graphs of premium status overtime are featured. Tables of jumping intensities between data sets are included, as are manpower planning data tables.
