International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,0884-8289 ;2833-030-20568-1 Chapter 1: Mathematical Modeling and Operations Research for Military Decision Making -- Chapter 2: Statistics, Probability, and Model Fitting -- Chapter 3 Model Fitting with Regression -- Chapter 4: Mathematical Programming (Optimization) -- Chapter 5: Decision Analysis using Multi-attribute Decision Making -- Chapter 6: Game Theory Models -- Chapter 7: Modeling Change with Dynamical Systems Models and Differential Equations -- Chapter 8: Monte Carlo Simulation & Agent Based Models -- Chapter 9 Supply Chain Network Logistics.Based on many years of applied research, modeling and educating future decision makers, the authors have selected the critical set of mathematical modeling skills for decision analysis to include in this book. The book focuses on the model formulation and modeling building skills, as well as the technology to support decision analysis. The authors cover many of the main techniques that have been incorporated into their three-course sequence in mathematical modeling for decision making in the Department of Defense Analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School. The primary objective of this book is illustrative in nature. It begins with an introduction to mathematical modeling and a process for formally thinking about difficult problems, illustrating many scenarios and illustrative examples. The book incorporates the necessary mathematical foundations for solving these problems with military applications and related military processes to reinforce the applied nature of the mathematical modeling process.International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,0884-8289 ;283Operations researchDecision makingManagement scienceOperations Research/Decision Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000Operations Research, Management Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26024Operations research.Decision making.Management science.Operations Research/Decision Theory.Operations Research, Management Science.355.00151355.020151Fox William Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut256649Burks Robertauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910338232703321Applications of Operations Research and Management Science for Military Decision Making2224652UNINA
