Robust detection of exotic infectious diseases in animal herds: A comparative study of three decision methodologies under severe uncertainty (2012)
Journal Article
Troffaes, M. C., & Gosling, J. P. (2012). Robust detection of exotic infectious diseases in animal herds: A comparative study of three decision methodologies under severe uncertainty. International Journal of Approximate Reasoning: Uncertainty in Intelligent Systems, 53(8), 1271-1281. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijar.2012.06.020

When animals are transported and pass through customs, some of them may have dangerous infectious diseases. Typically, due to the cost of testing, not all animals are tested: a reasonable selection must be made. How to test effectively whilst avoidin...

Normal Form Backward Induction for Decision Trees with Coherent Lower Previsions (2012)
Journal Article
Huntley, N., & Troffaes, M. C. (2012). Normal Form Backward Induction for Decision Trees with Coherent Lower Previsions. Annals of Operations Research, 195(1), 111-134. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-011-0968-2

We examine normal form solutions of decision trees under typical choice functions induced by lower previsions. For large trees, finding such solutions is hard as very many strategies must be considered. In an earlier paper, we extended backward induc...
