investing more time and money in the products. Given The Decision tree chart attachment shows the predicted gains from each decision alternative described above. Gains depend on how the market reacts to the action taken by the company. The probability of each market reaction is shown on the decision tree. Task: Develop a response to the attached decision tree chart in which you: a) Calculate the expected value for each of the four decision branches. The company can either develop a new product

points) The Naive Bayes classifier uses the maximum a posteriori or the MAP decision rule for classification. True or False. Explain. Solution: True. The decision rule for the Naive Bayes classifier is: P (Xi |Y = y) arg; max P (Y = y) y i One can think of P (Y = y) as the prior distribution and P (Xi |Y = y) as the data likelihood. Note that when we do the learning, we are using the MLE approach. The decision rule is using MAP inference but the learning algorithm is using the MLE approach

Introduction What is involved in making a good decision? A good decision is one that is based on logic, considers all available data and possible alternatives, and the quantitative approach. Decision theory is an analytic and systematic approach to the study of decision making The Six Steps in Decision Making 1. Clearly define the problem at hand 2. List the possible alternatives 3. Identify the possible outcomes or states of nature 4. List the payoff or profit of each combination

2.Decision Theory - Decision Tables and Decision Trees, Game Theory 2.1 Introduction and Basic Terms Decision theory represents a generalized approach to decision making. It enables the decision maker to analyze a set of complex situations with many alternatives and many different possible consequences to identify a course of action consistent with the basic economic and psychological desires of the decision maker Decision theory problems are characterized by the following: a decision criterion a

It is generally agreed that biases can creep into our decision making processes, calling into question the correctness of a decision. Below is a list of some of the more commonly debated cognitive biases. Selective search for evidence - We tend to be willing to gather facts that support certain conclusions but disregard other facts that support different conclusions. Premature termination of search for evidence - We tend to accept the first alternative that looks like it might work. Inertia
