Podcasts about decision analysis

In this special edition of the Darden Admissions podcast, we share a recent installment in our ongoing ‘Office Hours' faculty spotlight series, a conversation with Professor Sasa Zorc. Zorc studies incentives in multi-agent systems such as health care and decentralized matching markets. Methodically, his research relies on stochastic dynamic games, search theory, mechanism design, contract theory as well as data-driven simulations of those systems. We talk with Zorc about his background, what led him to Darden, the core Decision Analysis course as well as his game theory elective, his thoughts on AI and more.

How you define Stephen Duneier depends on how you came to know him. Some define him as an expert institutional investor, while others know him as a large scale installation artist, avid outdoorsman, professor, decision strategist, coach, business leader, mindfulness extremist, author, speaker, daredevil or Guinness world record holder. In his talk, Stephen explains that what truly defines him aren't titles, but an approach to decision making that transformed him from someone who struggled with simple tasks to a guy who is continuously achieving even his most ambitious dreams. For thirty years, he has applied cognitive science to investing, business and life. The result has been the turnaround of numerous institutional businesses, career best returns for managers who have adopted his methods, the development of a $1.25 billion dollar hedge fund and a rapidly shrinking bucket list. Mr. Duneier teaches graduate courses on Decision Analysis in UCSB's College of Engineering. His book, AlphaBrain is due for release in early 2017 from Wiley & Sons. Through Bija Advisors, he helps business leaders improve performance by applying proven, proprietary decision-making methods to their own processes. His artwork has been featured around the world and is represented by the Sullivan Goss Gallery. As Commissioner of the League of Professional Educators, Duneier is using cognitive science to alter the landscape of American education. He is the former Head of Currency Option Trading at Bank of America and Emerging Markets at AIG International. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/getu-chandler/support

On this episode of The Lieb Cast, we talk with legal expert Joshua Ritter about two big decisions made by the Supreme Court. The first one, called 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, is about a Christian website designer who didn't want to make websites for same-sex weddings. The court decided that it was her right to choose what kind of work she wants to do. The second case, Groff v. DeJoy, involves a postal worker who didn't want to work on Sundays because of his religious beliefs. The court sided with the worker, saying that employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees' religious practices. These two cases could change the way businesses treat their employees' rights to free speech and religious freedom.Joshua Ritter, Esq., Media Legal Analyst and Podcast Host of "True Crime Daily: The Sidebar", lends his legal expertise to help us navigate these complex rulings, discussing their wider impact on society and the potential contradictions within the court's interpretations. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that's as timely as it is critical.

In this segment, Hans von Spakovsky, Senior Legal Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, dives into a recent Supreme Court decision. The discussion sheds light on the division among the justices, with a focus on the contrasting approaches to constitutional interpretation and personal sentiments. The dissenting opinions are explored, particularly their efforts to challenge the interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment.  Later, join Marc Cox as he welcomes Eureka Police Chief Mike Weigand and Eureka Fire Chief Greg Brown to the show. They discuss their partnership with the Focus Marine's Foundation and the upcoming fundraising golf tournament organized by the chamber. This event aims to provide support for both the law enforcement and fire department in their mission to ensure public safety. The chiefs share their experiences, challenges, and the incredible support they receive from the community. Engaging in light-hearted banter and displaying their camaraderie, the conversation showcases their shared dedication to serving the people of Eureka.

▶️ Dans ce nouvel épisode, j'ai eu le plaisir de recevoir Rinel Foguen Tchuendom, chercheur en Mathématiques au Center For Intelligent Machines à l'Université de McGill à Montréal. Il appartient au GERAD, Group for Research in Decision Analysis. Rinel travaille dans le domaine des probabilités. Plus particulièrement, il s'intéresse aux jeux à champ moyen. C'est une théorie qui étudie des systèmes où des agents interagissent les uns avec les autres d'une façon bien particulière qu'il nous expliquera.  Comme d'habitude, on est d'abord revenu sur son parcours. Il a grandi au Cameroun dans le système bilingue puis anglophone et se destinait au départ à devenir ingénieur électronicien. C'est un terrible échec en mathématiques qui a changé sa destinée et vous allez découvrir comment il en est alors arrivé à faire ce qu'il fait aujourd'hui.  Ses études l'ont conduit à faire un Master MathMods, une sorte d'Erasmus mais pour les étudiants du monde entier. Il nous expliquera en détail le fonctionnement de ce programme.  Dans sa carte blanche, Rinel nous présente les approximations de Padé. C'est un outil qui permet d'approcher certaines fonctions compliquées de façon plus simple et qui a le bon goût de rester efficace dans la durée, c'est-à-dire qu'il ne se dégrade pas trop avec le temps.  J'ai passé un très bon moment en compagnie de Rinel et c'est un plaisir de vous le faire découvrir.  Voici les recommandations données dans cet épisode :  Rinel vous conseille la chaîne 3Blue1Brown https://www.youtube.com/c/3blue1brown, une chaîne Youtube anglophone de vulgarisation de maths avec des visualisations fantastiques.  Je vous recommande pour ma part le podcast de vulgarisation Maths en tête d'Alexandre Morgan, plein d'humour et de fraîcheur disponible ici : https://podcast.ausha.co/maths-en-tete-le-podcast

IntroductionHave you ever made a comprehensive plan, but it failed anyway? Do you find yourself in extreme positive or negative situations and fail to make the best choice? Well, you are not alone. Better still, you are in good company. Even plans made with endless resources can fail. Governments cannot address problems such as unemployment and war. They also cannot seize opportunities by misallocating public resources. Better planning will enable you to capitalize on opportunities. Preparedness will allow you to cut losses when disasters strike. How do you prepare for unexpected life events? Can you improve the success rate of your plans? The Black Swan is based on the premise that life is full of surprises. Some are good, and some are catastrophic. The book reviews events such as the rise of the Internet and devastating wars. It also studies our tendency to offer explanations when confronted with significant events. The book offers insight into the nature of unexpected events. It also looks at typical human reactions. Finally, ithttps://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/books/chapters/0422-1st-tale.html ( provides tips on managing life's extremes better). About Nassim Nicholas TalebNassim Nicholas Taleb is a Lebanese American author. He is also a statistician, risk analyst, and former options trader. The Black Swan is one of the five-volume philosophical essays, Incerto. He published Incerto between 2001 and 2018. Taleb teaches risk engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering and is a Risk and Decision Analysis journal co-editor. In addition, the remarkable statistician has authored over a dozen inspiring books. Taleb's approach to risk management saw him profit from contemporary financial crises. He advocates for a black swan approach to financial markets that caters to hard-to-predict events in decision-making. Taleb also advocates for decentralized scientific research and aims to overcome gaps in current studies.  Nassim Taleb authored four other books in Incerto. These books have won many accolades and have gained a global audience. Taleb's unique style includes a mixed narrative; the reporting is semi-autobiographical and philosophical. It has led The Black Swan to win several awards. StoryShot #1: Black Swan Events are Unprecedented and Have a Huge Impact. Later, They Are Explained Away as PredictableHistory and society jump—incremental change does not happen as we expect. The scientific approach involves tracking events based on progression. Unfortunately, societies move from fracture to fracture, and explaining events using a cause-and-effect basis is flawed. People mainly saw white swans for the majority of history. Some societies even believed that black swans did not exist. A group of explorers first saw a black swan in Western Australia in 1967. The stunning news spread across Europe and the world like wildfire. The tale of the black swan inspired many scholars. Philosophers such ashttps://www.investopedia.com/terms/j/john-stuart-mill.asp ( John Stuart Mill) used the term ‘black swan' when referring to rare, improbable events. Taleb proposes that black swan events have the following characteristics:  They are not expected. They have a considerable impact on the world. People later give convincing explanations of what happened. Notable black swan events include World War II and the market crash of 1987. 9/11 and the discovery of antibiotics are also black swan events. The Lebanese Civil War was a black swan event. Christians and Muslims had lived peacefully for over 1300 years. The Lebanese culture preached tolerance. Schoolchildren respected their neighbors' cultures. A...

Pioneering the development of human monoclonal antibodies as potential treatments for viral diseases, in 2019 the Crowe Lab did a simulated pandemic outbreak and developed a record breaking rapid antibody discovery platform. Dr. James E. Crowe, Director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center shares how in 2020, as they were getting ready to do another simulation, right in the middle of their preparations COVID happened. Hear the fascinating story of how his team pivoted to launch a project with no reagents, no information, and no samples.  Table of Contents 01:37 … Meet James03:12 … What is an Antibody?04:17 … Monoclonal Antibodies06:44 … The Human Immunome Project09:25 … Secrets in our Bloodstream12:02 … COVID Response15:55 … Getting the Team to Pivot20:02 … Concerning Vaccine Hesitancy26:25 … Decision Analysis and Risks28:06 … Deciding on Intellectual Property34:02 … Formal Project Management in the Lab36:35 … After Action Reviews38:01 … Project Management Processes and Practices42:45 … Get in Touch with James43:50 … Closing JAMES CROWE: I like the complexity of it, and I like working with project managers because they like seeing the complexity.  And the bottom line is getting things done in a complex environment.  That's getting stuff out the other end and not being discouraged by that, but enjoying the complexity. WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast for project managers by project managers.  I'm Wendy Grounds; and, as always, here in the studio with me is Bill Yates. Listeners remember if you're claiming PDUs for our podcast, as well as for our courses, check out our website. Our PDU claim page has been updated with the new instructions.  We are so glad you're joining us today.  We have a special guest.  This is Dr. James Crowe, and he's a physician scientist at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.  He's the director of the Vanderbilt Vaccine Center and the Ann Scott Carell Chair.  He's a Professor of Pediatrics and Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology. BILL YATES:  Dr. Crowe has pioneered development of human monoclonal antibodies as potential treatments for viral diseases.  He's going to describe to us what that means.  I think we've all heard about antibodies lately.  But he can describe it from a science perspective.  And they'd done a lot of work on antibodies prior to the COVID pandemic.  But when the pandemic hit, his team pivoted, and we'll talk with him about that.  In fact, the Crowe team won an award in December 2020.  They were recognized for their work on COVID antibody research, and that's a fantastic award that recognizes the achievement that they've had in that field. WENDY GROUNDS:  Yes.  So he gives some great project management advice in this podcast.  It's really interesting to hear his perspective.  And also something we ask James is why we're still debating the social good and the necessity of vaccines.  And he touches on that, as well.  So let's talk to James.  Hi, Dr. Crowe.  Thank you so much for joining us today. Meet James JAMES CROWE:  Yeah, thanks for having me. WENDY GROUNDS:  We're just so excited to talk with you today, to clarify some issues about vaccines and about immunization.  And I think you're just the right person to talk to.  But I want to just go back a little bit and find out what is your mission as a scientist in the vaccine area?  How did you get started in this?  And what really is your goal? JAMES CROWE:  Well, I trained originally as a pediatrician, and ultimately worked in various places around the world.  I traveled in Papua New Guinea and Sub-Saharan Africa and various exotic places, thinking that I might spend my life trying to make the world a better a better place for children who are in challenging situations.  And when you're there, you see infectious diseases as a big part of the challenge.  Ultimately I trained as an infectious disease specialist to try to work on prevention of disease, infectious diseases,

When you have a large amount of data available, it’s easy to be paralyzed in making a decision about how to analyze it. The same is true when you have a lot of tasks and little clarity.

Stephen is the Founder of Bija Advisors. For nearly thirty years, he has applied cognitive science to institutional investment management. He sat down with host Mark Sylvester to talk about the common thread that runs through all of his pursuits. He has been fascinated with Decision Analysis and in this conversation will convince you that you’re probably not thinking hard enough about most challenges in your life. Stephen is also a professor at UCSB in the College of Engineering, an internationally recognized speaker, drummer and the creative genius behind the Yarnbomber.com project. In this quick moving talk he and Mark cover a lot of ground including: • The difference between cognitive strain and cognitive ease and why you want t opal attention to this part of the conversation very closely • “We don't like to think too hard…” • Why you shouldn't trust your intuition • Why you should think deeply, especially when you don't have to • What is cognitive bias and why does it lead to systematic errors in judgment • Question everything • The belief based life vs. the fact based one • A simple four-point way to look at life o What’s the problem? o What can you control? o What can’t you control? o What options does that leave you? • Cultivating an insatiable curiosity • His five-year quest to find a cause worth dedicating his energy towards solving • The League of Professional Educators (LINK TheLPE.com) and why we should have teachers that make $1M a year He suggests that you should look at the world as it really exists.

Sometimes academics publish and wonder if anyone out there is reading. In the case of Eric Bickel of the University of Texas, he found that one person was. Early in his career Bickel did research on sports analytics/O.R., specifically strategies for baseball players at the plate and their managers. He asked, when should a batter take a pitch? In 2009 he published a related paper in Decision Analysis. Afterward, he received a thank you from a minor league catcher who had begun following his advice. It turns out that that player was Evan_Gattis, now the hot rookie with the Atlanta Braves, and when Sports Illustrated covered Gattis' remarkable first year, it wrote about Bickel's influence on Gattis' hitting. Learn more about this remarkable experience in this new podcast.

The traditional method of brainstorming is great for generating ideas - up to a point. With its time limit and lack of guidance to participants, some ideas don't get expressed, so they can't be considered when decision time comes along. INFORMS decision analysis pioneer Ralph Keeney, Professor Emeritus at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, makes his recommendations about improving the brainstorming process in his study Value-Focused Brainstorming, which appears in the current issue of Decision Analysis. He explains his important new method in this revealing podcast.

What is the best decision for managing water exports in the Delta? Jay Lund asks. This presentation looks at four strategies and how they may affect environmental sustainability and reliable water supply by mid-century to account for natural forces acting in the Delta, such as sea level rise.

Dr. Alan Garber discusses decision and cost-effective analysis in relation to health care. (September 20, 2007)

Background: Children with congenital hearing impairment benefit from early detection and treatment. At present, no model exists which explicitly quantifies the effectiveness of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) versus other programme alternatives in terms of early diagnosis. It has yet to be considered whether early diagnosis (within the first few months) of hearing impairment is of importance with regard to the further development of the child compared with effects resulting from a later diagnosis. The objective was to systematically compare two screening strategies for the early detection of new-born hearing disorders, UNHS and risk factor screening, with no systematic screening regarding their influence on early diagnosis. Methods: Design: Clinical effectiveness analysis using a Markov Model. Data Sources: Systematic literature review, empirical data survey, and expert opinion. Target Population: All newborn babies. Time scale: 6, 12 and 120 months. Perspective: Health care system. Compared Strategies: UNHS, Risk factor screening (RS), no systematic screening (NS). Outcome Measures: Quality weighted detected child months (QCM). Results: UNHS detected 644 QCM up until the age of 6 months ( 72,2%). RS detected 393 child months (44,1%) and no systematic screening 152 child months (17,0%). UNHS detected 74,3% and 86,7% weighted child months at 12 and 120 months, RS 48,4% and 73,3%, NS 23,7% and 60,6%. At the age of 6 months UNHS identified approximately 75% of all children born with hearing impairment, RS 50% and NS 25%. At the time of screening UNHS marked 10% of screened healthy children for further testing ( false positives), RS 2%. UNHS demonstrated higher effectiveness even under a wide range of relevant parameters. The model was insensitive to test parameters within the assumed range but results varied along the prevalence of hearing impairment. Conclusion: We have shown that UNHS is able to detect hearing impairment at an earlier age and more accurately than selective RS. Further research should be carried out to establish the effects of hearing loss on the quality of life of an individual, its influence on school performance and career achievement and the differences made by early fitting of a hearing aid on these factors.
