Decision Analysis Chapter 12

Chapter Topics Components of Decision Making Decision Making without Probabilities Decision Making with Probabilities Decision Analysis with Additional Information Utility Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis Overview 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 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Components of Decision Making Decision Analysis Components of Decision Making 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 12.1 Payoff table Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis Decision Making Without Probabilities Figure 12.1 Decision situation with real estate investment alternatives Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Decision Analysis Decision Making without Probabilities Decision-Making Criteria maximax maximin minimax minimax regret Hurwicz equal likelihood Table 12.2 Payoff table for the real estate investments Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Maximax Criterion In the maximax criterion the decision maker selects the decision that will result in the maximum of maximum payoffs; an optimistic criterion. Table 12.3 Payoff table illustrating a maximax decision Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Maximin Criterion In the maximin criterion the decision maker selects the decision that will reflect the maximum of the minimum payoffs; a pessimistic criterion. Table 12.4 Payoff table illustrating a maximin decision Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Minimax Regret Criterion 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 Table 12.5 Regret table Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Minimax Regret Criterion 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. Table 12.6 Regret table illustrating the minimax regret decision Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Hurwicz Criterion 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 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Equal Likelihood Criterion 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 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 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making without Probabilities Summary of Criteria Results 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.

Decision Making with Probabilities Expected Value 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 Table 12.7 Payoff table with probabilities for states of nature Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making with Probabilities Expected Opportunity Loss 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 Table 12.8 Regret table with probabilities for states of nature Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Decision Making with Probabilities Expected Value of Perfect Information 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. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Making with Probabilities 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. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Bayesian Analysis (1 of 3) 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. Table 12.11 Payoff table for real estate investment Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Bayesian Analysis (2 of 3) 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(Pg) = .80 P(NG) = .20 P(Pp) = .10 P(Np) = .90 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Bayesian Analysis (3 of 3) 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: (gP) = P(PG)P(g)/[P(Pg)P(g) + P(Pp)P(p)] = (.80)(.60)/[(.80)(.60) + (.10)(.40)] = .923 Posterior (revised) probabilities for decision: P(gN) = .250 P(pP) = .077 P(pN) = .750 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information 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. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Expected Value of Sample Information 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 Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Utility (1 of 2) Table 12.13 Payoff table for auto insurance example Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Decision Analysis with Additional Information Utility (2 of 2) 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. Copyright © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

Example Problem Solution (1 of 9) Decision Analysis Example Problem Solution (1 of 9) A corporate raider contemplates the future of a recent acquisition.
