Decision Nets

Decision nets are useful in solving decision problems, where the interrelations between variables are represented as in a = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_Bayes_net.htm');return false;">Bayes net, and the goal is to find a set of decision functions which maximize a utility objective.  An example decision net is “Umbrella”.

Creating a decision net is similar to creating a Bayes net.  Once the decision net is constructed, it may be solved, after which you may want to do model-iteration and what-if analysis.
