This textbook takes the reader from a formal analysis of simple decision problems to a careful analysis of the sometimes very complex and data rich structures confronted by practitioners. The book contains basic material on subjective probability theory and multi-attribute utility theory, event and decision trees, Bayesian networks, influence diagrams and causal Bayesian networks. The author demonstrates when and how the theory can be successfully applied to a given decision problem, how data can be sampled and expert judgements elicited to support this analysis, and when and how an effective Bayesian decision analysis can be implemented. Evolving from a third-year undergraduate course taught by the author over many years, all of the material in this book will be accessible to a student who has completed introductory courses in probability and mathematical statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46432935575703,"sku":"9780521764544","price":4846.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521764544.webp?v=1769306832","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bayesian-decision-analysis-9780521764544","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
