-73- HMP654 Decision Analysis-Decision Trees A decision tree is a graphical representation of every possible sequence of decision and random outcomes (states of nature) that can occur within a given decision making problem. A decision tree is composed of a collection of nodes (represented by circles and squares) interconnected by branches (represented by lines).
-74- HMP654 Decision Analysis-Decision Trees General Form of a Decision Tree
-75- HMP654 Decision Analysis-Decision Trees A square node is called a decision node because it represents a decision. Branches emanating from a decision node represent the different alternatives for a particular decision. Alternative A Alternative B Alternative C Decision Node
-76- HMP654 Decision Analysis-Decision Trees A circular node in a decision tree is called an event node because it represents an uncertain event. The branches emanating from an event node correspond to the possible states of nature or the possible outcomes of an uncertain event. State of Nature 1 State of Nature 2 State of Nature 3 Event Node
