Decision Making
To solve the given Decision tree, we must compute the expected value at each
probability
(or
circle)
node.
To compute the expected value at each node, we will work backward:
EMV (A) = 0.1(20) +0.2(10) + 0.6(0) + 0.1(-10)
=2+2+0-1
=3
EMV (B) = 0.7(5) +0.3(-1)
= 3.5 0.3
= 3.2
4.5 Use Precision Tree to create and solve the influence diagram that
corresponds to the decision tree in Figure
