Decision analysis is a procedure for identifying, clearly representing, and formally assessing important aspects of a decision involving uncertainty. The procedure, developed by operations research and business professors, now is widely used in research evaluating medical treatments. Greg Saltzman, Professor of Economics and Management at Albion College, taught a course in 2008 and 2010 at the University of Michigan School of Public Health for medical researchers, "Cost Utility and Decision Analysis." He will present an introduction to decision analysis during his talk.
