It is well known that he influence relation orders the voters the same way as the classical Banzhaf and Shapley–Shubik indices do when they are extended to the voting games with abstention (VGA) in the class of complete games. Moreover, all hierarchies for the influence relation are achievable...

Purpose – This paper aims to trace the history, application areas and users of Classical Analytics and Big Data Analytics. Design/methodology/approach – The paper discusses different types of Classical and Big Data Analytical techniques and application areas from the early days to present...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate optimal decision methods under a cooperative situation in two-echelon logistic models. Design/methodology/approach – The authors propose the optimal strategies of exporters in the three types of rival game behaviors: Stackelberg,...

This paper investigates the construction of an automatic algorithm selection tool for the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP). The research described relies on the notion of empirical hardness models. These models map problem instance features onto the performance...

In this paper, an innovative decision support system is proposed, by consolidating the newsboy model, logistic regression, and grey relation analysis, to develop an efficient replenishment policy, which maximises the total profit of perishable items in a convenience store. First, the basic order...
