2020 Annual Conference
We have made the difficult decision to cancel our in-person conference for 2020. While we will miss gathering in person, we hope to offer a scaled-down virtual gathering in the fall of 2020. Stay tuned for more details.
Data, Decisions, and the Value of Information
Quick Links
Conference Abstracts | Speaker Bios
Join industry professionals to learn about the Value of Information, a fundamental element of decision analysis. It is calculated as the difference in economic value between the best courses of action with and without the information. Therefore, the value of information that cannot impact a decision is zero. We should not invest more to acquire data than the value of the information it provides.
This conference explores how value of information calculations, decision analysis, and the intelligent acquisition of data are all improved by the discipline of probability management.
