dc.description.abstract | We have designed and developed a graphics based software package “BAYES” to demonstrate
the Bayesian methodology (before and after sampling) for solving decision problems under uncertainty
involving two decision alternatives. The user is guided through a step by step procedure in developing
the decision tree and evaluating the consequences at each node of the tree. Consequences are evaluated
by computing the expected “pay offs” and the “opportunity losses”. Choosing the best decision after
sampling involves computing various statistics such as EVSI (Expected Value of Sample Information),
AMEOL (Average Minimum Expected Opportunity Loss), and ENGS (Expected Net Gain from
Sampling). Detailed computations of these statistics are displayed only upon request. The users can thus
focus more on the methodology and less on the computational aspects. This package has made a
tremendous impact on classroom teaching for MBA and Executive Development Program participants
in India and Singapore. | |
