Introduction to decision system and machine learning
A decision system is a system that makes a decision based on several input parameters. A decision system is built on decision theories. Being human involves making decisions for almost life cases.
The following are examples of decisions that humans take:
- Shall I buy the car today? The decision depends on my preferences. This car looks fine, but it is too expensive for me.
- Shall I bring an umbrella today? This decision depends on the current condition in the area where we are staying. If it is cloudy, it's better to bring an umbrella even though it may not rain.
Generally speaking, we teach a machine such as a computer in order to understand and achieve a specific goal. This case is called machine learning. Varieties of programs are implemented in machines so they can make decisions.
Machine learning consists of various algorithms to build a decision system. In this book, I use fuzzy logic and Bayesian algorithms to make a decision system...
