Quantitative Methods to Support Decision Making

Abstract

The aim of this subject is to provide students the knowledge of a number of quantitative models and tools (Decision Theory, Games Theory, Dynamic Programming and Markov Processes) in order to support them for addressing decision-making problems. Because of the application of these techniques require to understand in detail the problems and their different variants, the subject is based on an applied approach, in which for each problem type the characteristics and relationships within the system formed by the organization are previously addressed.
