Decision making is intrinsic in the society no matter if it is a crucial decision or not. Many models and theories have been recommended to analyze how humans make choices both individually and also in groups such as organizations. This literature review covers a diversity of such models and theories including types of choices and influences of decision making. In order to understand the behavior of how individuals make choices‚ we have to first analyze the fundamental levels of decision making

Sparse Matrix Factorization Behnam Neyshabur1 and Rina Panigrahy2 arXiv:1311.3315v3 [cs.LG] 13 May 2014 1 Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago bneyshabur@ttic.edu 2 Microsoft Research rina@microsoft.com Abstract. We investigate the problem of factoring a matrix into several sparse matrices and propose an algorithm for this under randomness and sparsity assumptions. This problem can be viewed as a simplification of the deep learning problem where finding a factorization corresponds to finding

Section 1.2 Review Questions 1. List the components of and explain the Business Pressures–Responses–Support model. The components of the pressure-response-support model are business pressures‚ companies’ responses to these pressures‚ and computerized support. The model suggests that responses are made to counter the pressures or to take advantage of opportunities‚ support facilitates monitoring the environment (e.g.‚ for opportunities) and enhances the quality of the responses. 2.

Matrix Investigation I will try to investigate in powers of matrices (2x2). Also‚ try to find a pattern‚ if there is one. A=[pic] Using my GCD calculator to raise matrix A to different powers [pic]= [pic] [pic]= [pic] [pic]=[pic] [pic]= [pic] [pic]= [pic] [pic]= [pic] [pic]=[pic] The pattern that I can see is that when the power of matrix A is an even number e.g. 2‚4‚6‚8 then the result is [pic] the identity matrix. However‚ when the power
