4 introduction Modern decision theory was developed by Ramsey (1931), Von Neumann and Morgenstern (1944), Raiffa and Schlaifer (1961). Axioms of rational decision, principle of maximum expected utility (MEU). Applications: Economics ecision support systems Planning and active control Artificial intelligence (do the right thing!) Game theory. 4

5 deterministic examples onsider the management of a structure. two actions: o Nothing, Repair consequences are in term of cost. osts are: K$, 1K$. objective is to minimize costs. optimal action and cost are argmin, min, repair 1K$ many actions: argmin optimal action and cost are min argmin continuous domain: min 5

6 decision under uncertainties suppose costs are uncertain, for each action. x A, for each action, the corresponding cost is a distribution. How to compare distributions? expected cost: value distribution p(a) [K$] a 1 a if agent is risk neutral: argmin min argument for minimizing expected cost: in the long run, the expected (mean) cost is a measure of the average loss. Risk neutral agents aim to minimize long term cost. 6

7 decision making under uncertainty: principles lottery: :, ;, ; ;, : outcome [cost], : its probability. lotteries include sure things: 1, 1 an agent has preferences among lotteries: : is preferred to ~: lotteries and are indifferent : is preferred to or lotteries and are indifferent the behavior of an agent is rational only if preferences fulfill these axioms: axioms: Orderability: ~ Transitivity:, lotteries,,, probabilities, ontinuity: :, ; 1, ~ Monotonicity:, ; 1,, ; 1, Substitutability: ~, ; 1, ~, ; 1, ecomposability:, ; 1,, ; 1, ~, ; 1,; 1 1, 7

8 decision making under uncertainty: min. expected loss lottery: :, ;, ; ;, : outcome [cost], : its probability. lotteries include sure things: 1, 1 an agent has preferences among lotteries: : is preferred to ~: lotteries and are indifferent : is preferred to or lotteries and are indifferent the behavior of a rational agent can be described by loss function: : lottery loss ~ the rational agent minimizes expected loss expected loss: function: depends on attitude towards risk. 8

12 loss elicitation and loss related to death loss function derives by agent s preferences, and can be identified by posing questions to the agent. assign loss to the best case scenario, loss 1 to the worst case scenario ;, find probability : ~, ; 1,. In other words, find the probability that is indifferent respect to the two lotteries.. micromort: one in a million chance of death. Several studies across a range of people have shown that a micromort is worth about $ in 198 dollars, or under $5 in today s dollars. We can consider a utility curve whose X axis is micromorts. As for monetary utility, this curve behaves differently for positive and negative values. or example, many people are not willing to pay very much to remove a risk of death, but require significant payment in order to assume additional risk. Koller and riedman, Probabilistic Graphical Models Principles and Techniques. 1

13 syntax of influence diagrams chance: random variables decision: these are under control of the agent, and no inference is to be done. utility/loss: it a deterministic function of its parents, which are random vars. and decision vars. loss variables define the function that has to be minimize, varying decision. loss can be defined in terms of expected value:,,, 13
