Forecasting: DSS is designed to determine what will be. Time series forecasting There exist several forecasting packages. Multiple models 4- DSS Models Algorithm-based models Statistic-based models Linear programming models Graphical models Quantitative models Qualitative models Simulation models 4- 4- 2. Static and Dynamic Models Static Models Single snapshot of situation Single interval Time can be rolled forward, a snapshot at a time Usually repeatable Steady state Optimal operating parameters Continuous Unvarying Primary tool for process design 4- Dynamic Models Represent changing situations Time dependent Varying conditions Generate and use trends and patterns over time Occurrence may not repeat 4- certainty, uncertainty and risk Decision making under certainty Assume complete knowledge All potential outcomes known Easy to develop Resolution determined easily Can be very complex 4- Decision-Making under uncertainty Uncertainty Several outcomes for each decision Probability of occurrence of each outcome unknown .
