Decision rule

Index Decision rule

In decision theory, a decision rule is a function which maps an observation to an appropriate action. [1]

Admissible decision rule

In statistical decision theory, an admissible decision rule is a rule for making a decision such that there is not any other rule that is always "better" than it (or at least sometimes better and never worse), in the precise sense of "better" defined below.

Bayes estimator

In estimation theory and decision theory, a Bayes estimator or a Bayes action is an estimator or decision rule that minimizes the posterior expected value of a loss function (i.e., the posterior expected loss).

Classification rule

Given a population whose members each belong to one of a number of different sets or classes, a classification rule or classifier is a procedure by which the elements of the population set are each predicted to belong to one of the classes.

Decision theory

Decision theory (or the theory of choice) is the study of the reasoning underlying an agent's choices.

Economics

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

Estimator

In statistics, an estimator is a rule for calculating an estimate of a given quantity based on observed data: thus the rule (the estimator), the quantity of interest (the estimand) and its result (the estimate) are distinguished.

Game theory

Game theory is "the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers".

Loss function

In mathematical optimization, statistics, econometrics, decision theory, machine learning and computational neuroscience, a loss function or cost function is a function that maps an event or values of one or more variables onto a real number intuitively representing some "cost" associated with the event.

Prediction

A prediction (Latin præ-, "before," and dicere, "to say"), or forecast, is a statement about a future event.

Probability space

In probability theory, a probability space or a probability triple (\Omega, \mathcal, P) is a mathematical construct that models a real-world process (or “experiment”) consisting of states that occur randomly.

Regression analysis

In statistical modeling, regression analysis is a set of statistical processes for estimating the relationships among variables.

Statistical classification

In machine learning and statistics, classification is the problem of identifying to which of a set of categories (sub-populations) a new observation belongs, on the basis of a training set of data containing observations (or instances) whose category membership is known.

Statistics

Statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of data.

Strategy (game theory)

In game theory, a player's strategy is any of the options he or she can choose in a setting where the outcome depends not only on his own actions but on the action of others.
