About The Book
"Decision Theory and its Applications in Engineering" is designed as a core textbook for civil engineering courses and a supplementary resource for students in other engineering fields or professionals seeking to enhance their decision-making skills. The book explores the development of decision theory, specifically how probability and statistical decision-making are applied to engineering problems.
This comprehensive text covers a variety of applications including strength of materials, soil mechanics, construction planning, and water-resource design, offering readers real-world case studies to deepen their understanding. The focus is on providing a clear foundation in Bayesian statistical decision theory, subjective probability, utility theory, and methods for making engineering economic decisions amidst uncertainty.
It is particularly useful for those trained in classical statistics, offering both a detailed and approachable introduction to probability. The book also includes an appendix with valuable tables, making it an excellent reference text for practicing engineers and students alike.
