Deals with the two major aspects of decision-making: uncertainty and utility (values), and how-using statistical theory, utility theory, game theory, and the other components that go into decision theory. This book places emphasis on the problems of knowledge, and on the general place of information theory in decision-making.
All of human life may be seen as a process of decision-making, but it is only in recent years and in response to the needs of the large and complex organizations characterizing our society that this process has been subjected to scientifi c scrutiny. Out of this scrutiny-undertaken by a wide range of professionals in economics, administration, management, statistics, psychology, engineering, computer science, operations research, and systems analysis-there has begun to emerge a body of theory that has profound implications for improving practical decision-making. This book is the fi rst to bring together all the various aspects of decision theory into one cohesive treatment.
