Bayesian approach to decision making  

Définition

  • Named after the 18th-century English cleric Thomas Bayes, the Bayesian approach refers to a distinctive framework for decision making. Accepting the dictum that “probability is the guide to life,” the Bayesian approach provides a model for rational choice in which the expected utility of an action is determined in relation to a person's notions of the probabilities and utilities associated with the potential outcomes of the action under consideration.
