  2. Ordered weighted averaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_weighted_averaging

    Ordered weighted averaging. In applied mathematics, specifically in fuzzy logic, the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators provide a parameterized class of mean type aggregation operators. They were introduced by Ronald R. Yager. [1] [2] Many notable mean operators such as the max, arithmetic average, median and min, are members of this class.

  6. Problem solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields. The former is an example of simple problem solving (SPS) addressing one issue ...

  7. Greedy algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_algorithm

    A greedy algorithm is any algorithm that follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage. [1] In many problems, a greedy strategy does not produce an optimal solution, but a greedy heuristic can yield locally optimal solutions that approximate a globally optimal solution in a reasonable amount of time.

    v. t. e. Problem structuring methods ( PSMs) are a group of techniques used to model or to map the nature or structure of a situation or state of affairs that some people want to change. [1] PSMs are usually used by a group of people in collaboration (rather than by a solitary individual) to create a consensus about, or at least to facilitate ...
