DEFINITION OF INFLUENCE DIAGRAMS Sample Clauses

DEFINITION OF INFLUENCE DIAGRAMS. An influence diagram is a simple graphical and mathematical representation of a decision problem. It is considered as a model which combines Bayesian networks and decision making problems in fixed orders. An ID is a directed acyclic graph consisting of nodes and arcs. In order to simplify the drawing workload, the software Microsoft VISIO is used to construct the IDs. The following illustrates the definitions and sketches of the basic components. Nodes: Decision: A decision is a variable drawn as a rectangle that is able to be controlled by a decision maker. Chance: A chance variable is drawn as an oval which means uncertainty and unable to be controlled manually. Objective: An objective variable is represented by a hexagon indicating the criterion that a decision maker is trying to maximize or minimize. General: A general variable is a deterministic function of quantities it depends on. It is drawn as a rounded rectangle. Typically, it is usually used to represent a deterministic quality or functional relationship. Arcs: An arrow or arc denotes the influence which expresses knowledge about relevance. It does not necessarily represent a causal relation or a flow of material, data or money.
