Peer reviewedPao, Miranda Lee; McCreery, Laurie – Information Processing and Management, 1986
A rudimentary description of Markov Chains is presented in order to introduce its use to describe and to predict authors' movements among subareas of the discipline of ethnomusicology. Other possible applications are suggested. (Author)

Peer reviewedLosee, Robert M., Jr. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Describes an expected precision (EP) measure designed to predict document retrieval performance. Highlights include decision theoretic models; precision and recall as measures of system performance; EP graphs; relevance feedback; and computing the retrieval status value of a document for two models, the Binary Independent Model and the Two Poisson…

Peer reviewedKassicieh, Suleiman K.; Nowak, John W. – Information Processing and Management, 1986
Discusses importance of academic planning and describes a model-based decision support system for academic units in a university hierarchy. This system integrates macro-level decisions by examining individual departments' budgets to determine future plans. Quantitative techniques for forecasting change are reviewed, including use of spreadsheet…
