Based on a survey of the poverty alleviation resettlement (PAR) farmers in China, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between the expected value, perceived value and regret mood of the relocated farmers. The results show that the expected...
Satellite communication systems are increasingly facing serious environmental challenges such as malicious jamming, monitoring, and intercepting. As a current development of artificial intelligence, intelligent jammers with learning ability can effec...
A popular risk measure, conditional value-at-risk (CVaR), is called expected shortfall (ES) in financial applications. The research presented involved developing algorithms for the implementation of linear regression for estimating CVaR as a function...
Industrial parks have various sources and conversion forms of energy. The many uncertainties in the planning of industrial park integrated energy systems (IPIES) pose a great risk of regret in planning schemes; thus, an expansion planning method for...
Motherhood regret still constitutes a major taboo that limits the possibility of processing the negative exposure to being a mother. This qualitative study involved Italian women living both in Italy and abroad, where traditional patriarchal thinking...
Introduction: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a treatment for knee pain, but some patients are not satisfied with their outcomes. Utilizing shared decision making (SDM) can lead to better decisions, satisfaction, and fewer regrets. However, healthca...
Non-stationary multi-armed bandit (MAB) problems have recently attracted extensive attention. We focus on the abruptly changing scenario where reward distributions remain constant for a certain period and change at unknown time steps. Although Thomps...
Facing the potential dangers from sudden disasters in urban cities, emergency administrators have to make an appropriate evacuation plan to mitigate negative consequences. However, little attention has been paid to evacuee real decision psychology wh...
The real estate sector is receiving mix responses throughout the world, with some countries like USA receiving lesser and European and Asia Pacific markets receiving more transactions in recent years. Among the concerning factors, post-purchase regre...

Online shopping has developed rapidly, but recently, the sales of some online stores have suffered due to the decrease in people’s income caused by the epidemic. How to grasp the psychology and behavior of consumers and formulate effective marketing...
Decision-making theory has developed over many decades at the intersection of economics, mathematics, psychology, and engineering. Its classical foundations include Bernoulli’s expected utility theory, von Neumann and Morgenstern’s ration...
In modern communication, the electromagnetic spectrum serves as the carrier for information transmission, and the only medium enabling information exchange anywhere, anytime. To adapt to the changing dynamics of a complex electromagnetic environment,...

The number of people undergoing bariatric surgery is increasing every year, and their expectations for surgery often differ greatly. The purpose of this study was to develop a patient-centered decision-making aid to help people define their weight lo...
In the scenario of an integrated space–air–ground emergency communication network, users encounter the challenge of rapidly identifying the optimal network node amidst the uncertainty and stochastic fluctuations of network states. This st...
Existing studies display a huge disparity in terms of the number of patients who regret having engaged in dialysis. Modifiable care processes such as providing sufficient information and education prior to decision-making have been shown to have a gr...

The COVID-19 pandemic has seen an unmatched level of panic buying globally, a type of herd behavior whereby consumers buy an uncommonly huge amount of products because of a perception of scarcity. Drawing on the health belief model, perceived scarcit...
The theoretical literature on risk aversion and Expected Utility Theory is extensive; however, the analysis of this behaviour with natural experiments could be more comprehensive. In this paper, we use data from 120 episodes of the Portuguese version...
This paper critically examines the weighted sample average approximation (wSAA) framework, a widely used approach in prescriptive analytics for managing uncertain optimization problems featuring non-linear objectives. Our research pinpoints a key def...
Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning approach that can enable Internet of Things (IoT) edge devices to collaboratively learn a machine learning model without explicitly sharing local data in order to achieve data clustering, pred...
Background: Identifying the potential factors of depression among medical students is the first step towards academic excellence and future safe medical practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2019 to February 2020 at t...
We introduce Causal Incentive Design (CID), a framework that applies causal inference to canonical single-stage principal–agent problems (PAPs) characterized by bilateral private information. Within CID, the operating rules of PAPs are formaliz...
In view of heightened climate change (CC), adaptation strategies are imperative to diminish the impacts on social and environmental assets. Two approaches are commonly used to formulate adaptation measures, namely bottom-up and top-down, each with in...

In the precision marketing of a new product, it is a challenge to allocate limited resources to the target customer groups with different characteristics. We presented a framework using the distance-based algorithm, K-nearest neighbors, and support v...
A number of principles for evaluating water resources decisions under deep long-run uncertainty have been proposed in the literature. In this paper, we evaluate the usefulness of three widely recommended principles in the context of delta water and s...
The changing economic environment in Taiwan has led to an increase in the structure of double-income families. To compensate for the lack of time to take care of their children and the regret of their learning process, parents will send their childre...
This study investigates the influence of FOMO, loss aversion, and herd behavior on gold investment decisions in the Vietnamese market. Employing data collected from 727 investors and the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) me...
Demand response (DR) can be very useful for an industrial facility, since it allows noticeable reductions in the electricity bill due to the significant value of energy demand. Although most industrial processes have stringent constraints in terms of...
As is well-known, the benefit of restricting Lévy processes without positive jumps is the “ W , Z scale functions paradigm”, by which the knowledge of the scale functions W , Z extends immediately to other risk contr...
Every year, 7.3 million girls become pregnant before they turn 18. Teenage pregnancy increases when girls are denied the right to make decisions about their sexual health and well-being, which is a gender equality issue. Among the challenges of gende...
The minimum expected number of bits needed to describe a random variable is its entropy, assuming knowledge of the distribution of the random variable. On the other hand, universal compression describes data supposing that the underlying distribution...
The common measure of teacher retention as snapshots of those employed in state-funded schools may overestimate attrition by failing to consider a desire for flexibility in contemporary teaching careers. When used as a measure of the effectiveness of...
