Its strength is that the inferences are responsive to the elicited or declared consequences of the erroneous decisions, and so they can be closely tailored to the client’s perspective, priorities, value judgments and other prior information, together with the uncertainty about them.SpringerBriefs in Statistics,2191-544XStatistics Statistics, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S0000XStatistics .Statistics, general.519.5519.542Longford Nicholas Tauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut104931BOOK9910437874203321Statistical Decision Theory2532109UNINA
