We begin with a verbal statement of the problem. Then we identify: the decision alternatives the states of nature (uncertain future events) the payoffs (consequences) associated with each specific combination of: decision alternative state of nature © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The decision alternatives are the different possible strategies the decision maker can employ. The states of nature refer to future events, not under the control of the decision maker, which may occur. States of nature should be defined so that they are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

A table showing payoffs for all combinations of decision alternatives and states of nature is a payoff table. Payoffs can be expressed in terms of profit, cost, time, distance or any other appropriate measure. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

Each decision tree has two types of nodes: round nodes correspond to the states of nature square nodes correspond to the decision alternatives © 2017 Cengage Learning.

At the end of each limb of a tree are the payoffs attained from the series of branches making up that limb. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

Because one and only one of the N states of nature can occur, the probabilities must satisfy two conditions: P(sj) > 0 for all states of nature 𝑁 ∑ 𝑃 ( 𝑠 𝑗 )=𝑃 ( 𝑠1 )+ 𝑃 ( 𝑠2 )+…+𝑃 ( 𝑠𝑁 )=1 𝑗=1 © 2017 Cengage Learning.

Decision Making Under “Uncertainty” A. Maximin: Identify the minimum (or worst) possible payoff for each alternative and select the alternative that maximizes the worst possible payoff Pessimistic (i.e. best choice in the worst case) B. Maximax: Identify the maximum (or best) possible payoff for each alternative and select the alternative that maximizes the best possible payoff Optimistic (i.e. best choice in the best scenario) C. Expected monetary value (EMV) criterion: Using prior probabilities for the states of nature, compute the expected payoff for each alternative and select the alternative with the largest expected payoff (i.e. best choice using prior probabilities) ©2014 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd. All Rights Reserved. Statistics for Business and Economics (13e) Decision Making with Probabilities Then we use the expected value approach to identify the best or recommended decision alternative. The expected value of each decision alternative is calculated (explained on the next slide). The decision alternative yielding the best expected value is chosen. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

Statistics for Business and Economics (13e) Expected Value Approach The expected value of a decision alternative is the sum of weighted payoffs for the decision alternative. The expected value (EV) of decision alternative di is defined as 𝑁 𝐸𝑉 ( 𝑑 𝑖 ) = ∑ 𝑃 (𝑠 𝑗 )𝑉 𝑖𝑗 𝑗=1 where: N = the number of states of nature P(sj ) = the probability of state of nature sj Vij = the payoff corresponding to decision alternative di and state of nature sj © 2017 Cengage Learning.

It has three different restaurant layout models (A, B, and C), each with a different seating capacity. Burger Prince estimates that the average number of customers served per hour will be 80, 100, or 120. The payoff table for the three models is on the next slide. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The expected value of perfect information (EVPI) is the increase in the expected profit that would result if one knew with certainty which state of nature would occur. The EVPI provides an upper bound on the expected value of any sample or survey information. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

Step 2: Compute the expected value of these optimal returns. Step 3: Subtract the EV of the optimal decision from the amount determined in step (2). © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The final opportunity loss table: 31 Expected Opportunity Loss (EOL) One we have the OL matrix, we calculate the EOL for each alternative the same way we calculated EMV Given P(s2)=0.8 and P(s2)=0.2 EOL(d1)=.8*12 +.2*0 = 9.6 EOL(d2) =.8*6 +.2*2 = 5.2 EOL(d3) =.8*0 +.2*16 = 3.2 The best choice (by this criterion) is the lowest EOL: d3, with 3.2 32 Repeat, with Burger example Average Number of s1 = 80 Customers s2 = 100Per s3 = 120 Hour Model A $10,000 $15,000 $14,000 Model B $ 8,000 $18,000 $12,000 Model C $ 6,000 $16,000 $21,000 33 Statistics for Business and Economics (13e) Decision Analysis With Sample Information Knowledge of sample (survey) information can be used to revise the probability estimates for the states of nature. Prior to obtaining this information, the probability estimates for the states of nature are called prior probabilities. With knowledge of conditional probabilities for the outcomes or indicators of the sample or survey information, these prior probabilities can be revised by employing Bayes' Theorem. The outcomes of this analysis are called posterior probabilities or branch probabilities for decision trees. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The decisions chosen depend on the yet to be determined outcomes of chance events. The approach used to determine the optimal decision strategy is based on a backward pass through the decision tree. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

At Decision Nodes: Select the decision branch that leads to the best expected value. This expected value becomes the expected value at the decision node. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

For the computations we need to know: the initial (prior) probabilities for the states of nature, the conditional probabilities for the outcomes or indicators of the sample information given each state of nature. A tabular approach is a convenient method for carrying out the computations. © 2017 Cengage Learning.

This gives the joint probabilities for the states and indicator. Step 2 Sum these joint probabilities over all states. This gives the marginal probability for the indicator. Step 3 For each state, divide its joint probability by the marginal probability for the indicator. This gives the posterior probability distribution. © 2017 Cengage Learning.
