Dominance
If Ai is preferred over Aj for all States of Nature, then Ai dominates Aj and Aj can be eliminated as an alternative of choice.
Must investigate all possible pairwise comparisons. For M alternatives, there are
MC2 = M! / [(M-2)! 2!] comparisons.
If M = 6; then 6!/[4!2!] = 15 comparisons

The Hurwicz Principle
Outlook is somewhere between extreme pessimism and extreme optimismThe degree of optimism (α) of the decision maker can be measured on a scale from 0 to 1.For each alternative i, the Hurwicz criterion is given by

Professor Hurwicz
Leo Hurwicz received his LL.M. from Warsaw University - Poland in 1938. He teaches in the areas of theory, welfare economics, public economics, mechanisms and institutions, and mathematical economics. Professor Hurwicz's current research includes comparison and analysis of systems and techniques of economic organization, welfare economics, game-theoretic implementation of social choice goals, and modeling economic institutions.

Minimax RegretThe Savage principle:
Compute a regret matrix by finding for a given state of nature, the difference between each profit and the maximum profit.Then for each alternative, find the maximum regretSelect that alternative that minimizes the maximum regret
I get it. The regret is the difference in what we get versus what we
could have gotten if we had chosen the best alternative for that state of
nature.

Savage wrote on the foundations of statistics which led him into deep philosophical questions both about statistics and knowledge in general. The other main direction of his work was to study gambling as a source to stimulate problems in probability and decision theory. Savage's book The Foundations of Statistics (1954) is perhaps his greatest achievement. The book considers subjective probability and utility. It starts with six axioms, which are both motivated and discussed, and from these are deduced the existence of a subjective probability and a utility function. Another important work by Savage is How to gamble if you must : Inequalities for stochastic processes in 1965, written jointly with L Dubins. Other articles written by Savage relate to statistical inference, in particular the Bayesian approach. Heintroduced Bayesian hypothesis tests and Bayesian estimation.

Laplace Criterion (Principle of insufficient reason)It is sometimes suggested (initially by Laplace)
that in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, one might as well assume that all futures are equally likely.
Principle of Insufficient Reason: Assume all possible futures are of equal probability then select the alternative that maximizes expectation.

Laplace
Born: 23 March 1749 in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy, FranceDied: 5 March 1827 in Paris, France
The first edition of Laplace's Théorie Analytique des Probabilités was published in 1812. The first book studies generating functions and also approximations to various expressions occurring in probability theory. The second book contains Laplace's definition of probability, Bayes's rule (so named by Poincaré many years later), and remarks on moral and mathematical expectation. The book continues with methods of finding probabilities of compound events when the probabilities of their simple components are known, then a discussion of the method of least squares, Buffon's needle problem, and inverse probability.Applications to mortality, life expectancy andthe length of marriages are given and finally Laplace looks at moral expectation and probabilityin legal matters.

The Spreadsheet… and it came to the engineering
manager in a dream that the decision problem under uncertainty
can be analyzed using a spreadsheet.
