They also help you to form an accurate, balanced picture of the risks and rewards that can result from a particular choice. Decision Trees -- OR-Notes by J. R. Beasley. In many problems chance (or probability) plays an important role. Decision analysis is the general name that is given to techniques for analysing problems containing risk/uncertainty/probabilities. Decision trees are one specific decision analysis technique and we will illustrate the technique by use of an example. Rational Partial Evaluation of Decision Trees -- Michael P. Frank. Expert decision-making systems often evaluate decision trees to determine what action has the best expected utility. But sometimes the decision tree implied by the system''s model of the domain is intractably large; not only too large to store explicitly, but also too large to evaluate in a reasonable time.
