Data analysis and decision support
Wolfgang Gaul, Martin Schader · Applied Stochastic Models and Data Analysis · 1989
Abstract In this paper, we consider developmental lines of computer‐assisted decision support (with consideration of knowledge‐based approaches) for data analysis problems. First, we discuss some situations where it is obviously appropriate to apply computer‐assisted decision support in connection with data analysis tasks. Then, a brief historical retrospect is given viewing the development of this area of research and its interfaces to knowledge‐based approaches. Against this background we illustrate two prototypes of knowledge‐based decision support systems for specific data‐analysis problems related to fields of interest of our own. Finally, we indicate possible progress and future activities in this area.
