Study Notes
Decision Making Strategies
- Sensitivity analysis assesses how changes in variables affect the outcome of a decision.
- The maximax approach is associated with the maximization of optimistic outcomes.
- The criterion of realism, as proposed by Hurwicz, considers the level of uncertainty or ambiguity in decision making.
Decision Making under Uncertainty
- The minimax regret strategy aims to minimize the maximum potential regret or opportunity loss.
Utility Theory
- Utility theory seeks to maximize the expected utility or satisfaction of a decision.
Misconceptions
- Sequential Decision-making is actually related to Markov Decision Process (MDP).
- Sensitivity Analysis can be done through various methods, not just trial and error.
- Maximize Expected Utility (MEU) seeks to maximize expected utility, not minimize expected opportunity loss (EOL).
- Decision Making under certainty does not exist in reality, as there is always some level of risk involved.
- Conditional probability is a crucial factor in Decision Making under risk.
