About the Book
Decision theory in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, and statistics is concerned with identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues relevant in a given decision, its rationality, and the resulting optimal decision. It is very closely related to the field of game theory.This book is your ultimate resource for Decision Theory. Here you will find the most up-to-date information, analysis, background and everything you need to know.
