Editorial Reviews

This systematic introduction to decision theory also acquaints the reader with the basic concepts and theories of probability and statistics. Assuming only an understanding of calculus, the book can be used as a textbook, or a self-study guide, and is addressed to both students and researchers in fields from engineering and the natural sciences, to management, economics and psychology.
