How is a decision network evaluated?

  • A.For each decision, compute the expected utility and take the best
  • B.By sampling the network until the decision stabilises
  • C.By eliminating the decision nodes as ordinary variables
  • D.By maximising the utility node's value directly

Answer: A

Setting the decision node to each of its values in turn, computing the posterior over the utility node's parents and taking the expectation, gives the value of each action. The highest is chosen. Sampling is one way to compute the expectations rather than the procedure, and decisions are maximised rather than summed out. Distinguishing the variables that are summed from the one that is maximised is the whole difference between inference and decision making.
