Previous chapters used an assumption of certainty with regards to
problem parameters.
This chapter relaxes the certainty assumption
Two categories of decision situations:
Probabilities can be assigned to future occurrences
Probabilities cannot be assigned to future occurrences
Decision Analysis
Overview

Table 12.1 Payoff table
■ A state of nature is an actual event that may occur in the future.
■ A payoff table is a means of organizing a decision situation,
presenting the payoffs from different decisions given the various
states of nature.

Table 12.3 Payoff table illustrating a maximax decision
In the maximax criterion the decision maker selects the decision
that will result in the maximum of maximum payoffs; an
optimistic criterion.

Maximax Criterion

Table 12.4 Payoff table illustrating a maximin decision
In the maximin criterion the decision maker selects the decision
that will reflect the maximum of the minimum payoffs; a
pessimistic criterion.

Table 12.5 Regret table
Regret is the difference between the payoff from the best
decision and all other decision payoffs.
Example: under the Good Economic Conditions state of nature,
the best payoff is $100,000. The manager’s regret for choosing
the Warehouse alternative is $100,000-$30,000=$70,000
Decision Making without Probabilities
Minimax Regret Criterion
12-10 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Table 12.6 Regret table illustrating the minimax regret decision
The manager calculates regrets for all alternatives under each
state of nature. Then the manager identifies the maximum
regret for each alternative.
Finally, the manager attempts to avoid regret by selecting the
decision alternative that minimizes the maximum regret.
Decision Making without Probabilities
Minimax Regret Criterion
12-11 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
The Hurwicz criterion is a compromise between the maximax
and maximin criteria.
A coefficient of optimism, , is a measure of the decision
maker’s optimism.
The Hurwicz criterion multiplies the best payoff by and the
worst payoff by 1- , for each decision, and the best result is
selected. Here, = 0.4.

Decision Values
Apartment building $50,000(.4) + 30,000(.6) = 38,000
Office building $100,000(.4) - 40,000(.6) = 16,000
Warehouse $30,000(.4) + 10,000(.6) = 18,000
12-12 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
The equal likelihood ( or Laplace) criterion multiplies the
decision payoff for each state of nature by an equal weight, thus
assuming that the states of nature are equally likely to occur.
Decision Making without Probabilities
Equal Likelihood Criterion
Decision Values
Apartment building $50,000(.5) + 30,000(.5) = 40,000
Office building $100,000(.5) - 40,000(.5) = 30,000
Warehouse $30,000(.5) + 10,000(.5) = 20,000

■ A dominant decision is one that has a better payoff than another decision under each state of nature.
■ The appropriate criterion is dependent on the “risk” personality and philosophy of the decision maker.

Expected value is computed by multiplying each decision
outcome under each state of nature by the probability of its
occurrence.
EV(Apartment) = $50,000(.6) + 30,000(.4) = $42,000
EV(Office) = $100,000(.6) - 40,000(.4) = $44,000
EV(Warehouse) = $30,000(.6) + 10,000(.4) = $22,000

■ The expected opportunity loss is the expected value of the regret for each decision.
■ The expected value and expected opportunity loss criterion result in the same decision.
EOL(Apartment) = $50,000(.6) + 0(.4) = 30,000 EOL(Office) = $0(.6) + 70,000(.4) = 28,000 EOL(Warehouse) = $70,000(.6) + 20,000(.4) = 50,000

■ The expected value of perfect information (EVPI) is the
maximum amount a decision maker would pay for additional
information.
■ EVPI equals the expected value given perfect information
minus the expected value without perfect information.
■ EVPI equals the expected opportunity loss (EOL) for the best
decision.

(represented as squares), probability nodes (circles), and
decision alternatives (branches).

Sequential Decision Trees (1 of 4)
■ A sequential decision tree is used to illustrate a situation
requiring a series of decisions.
■ Used where a payoff table, limited to a single decision, cannot
be used.
■ The next slide shows the real estate investment example
modified to encompass a ten-year period in which several
decisions must be made.

■ Expected value if land is purchased is:

■ Bayesian analysis uses additional information to alter the marginal probability of the occurrence of an event.
■ In the real estate investment example, using the expected value criterion, the best decision was to purchase the office building with an expected value of $444,000, and EVPI of $28,000.

Bayesian Analysis (1 of 3)
12-44 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
■ A conditional probability is the probability that an event will
occur given that another event has already occurred.
■ An economic analyst provides additional information for the
real estate investment decision, forming conditional
probabilities:
g = good economic conditions
p = poor economic conditions
P = positive economic report
N = negative economic report
P(Pg) = .80 P(NG) = .20
P(Pp) = .10 P(Np) = .90
Decision Analysis with Additional Information
Bayesian Analysis (2 of 3)
12-45 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
■ A posterior probability is the altered marginal probability of an
event based on additional information.
■ Prior probabilities for good or poor economic conditions in the
real estate decision:
P(g) = .60; P(p) = .40
■ Posterior probabilities by Bayes’ rule:
(gP) = P(PG)P(g)/[P(Pg)P(g) + P(Pp)P(p)]
= (.80)(.60)/[(.80)(.60) + (.10)(.40)] = .923
■ Posterior (revised) probabilities for decision:
P(gN) = .250 P(pP) = .077 P(pN) = .750

Decision Trees with Posterior Probabilities (1 of 4)
Decision trees with posterior probabilities differ from earlier
versions in that:
■ Two new branches at the beginning of the tree represent
report outcomes.
■ Probabilities of each state of nature are posterior
probabilities from Bayes’ rule.

■ The expected value of sample information (EVSI) is the
difference between the expected value with and without
information:
For example problem, EVSI = $63,194 - 44,000 = $19,194
■ The efficiency of sample information is the ratio of the
expected value of sample information to the expected value of
perfect information:
efficiency = EVSI /EVPI = $19,194/ 28,000 = .68

Expected Cost (insurance) = .992($500) + .008(500) = $500
Expected Cost (no insurance) = .992($0) + .008(10,000) = $80
The decision should be do not purchase insurance, but people
almost always do purchase insurance.
■ Utility is a measure of personal satisfaction derived from money.
■ Utiles are units of subjective measures of utility.
■ Risk averters forgo a high expected value to avoid a low-
probability disaster.
■ Risk takers take a chance for a bonanza on a very low-
probability event in lieu of a sure thing.
