Statistical decision theory and bayesian analysis James O. Berger
Publisher: Springer




Note that those from the field of statistics who work on decision theory tend to talk about a "loss function," which is simply an inverse utility function. Peter de Blanc, I don't have an example, just a vague memory of reading about minimax-optimal decision rules in J. Bayes theorem for updating probabilities; 10.3. This discussion also reminds me of some statistical debates, where many statisticians have argued the need for a decision-theoretic approach to analysis. While reading Chapter 22 of your book, Bayesian Data Analysis (2nd ed.) – I came upon the section on the *Distinction between decision analysis and 'statistical decision theory'* (p.

Now we return to an analysis of decision scenarios, armed with EDT and the counterfactual formulation of CDT. In a full Bayesian data analysis (with spatial data or not), a loss function should be specified that relates to the decision made from the results of the analysis – the loss function should capture the “consequences” of making a given decision.
