Decision Traps # 6

Decision Trap no. 6: shooting from the hip: believing you cap keep straight in your
head all the info you've discovered, and therefore winging it rather than following
a systematic procedure when making the final choice

Simple Approach
Intuition
• Definition: mind process of part or all information
   automatically, quickly, & without awareness of any details
• affected by evidence, fatigue, boredom, distraction, &
   recollection of a fight
The limits of intuition
• less consistency
• suffer from information overload
Ex: Consulting to A doctor in Clinic
Some simple but limited alternatives to intuition


 1. Pure intuition

 2. Simple screening & ranking rules

 3. Occupation-specific rules of thumb
Some simple but limited alternatives to intuition

People use to make choices by simple approaches:
1. Pure intuition
2. Simple screening & ranking rules
  Threshold rule: useful in quickly eliminating numerous unsuitable
  alternative and random inconsistency of purely intuitive approaches
  Exp : Decide for Credit card approval


  Criteria:
     1. has no payment default
     2. one years at present address
     3. one years at current job
     4. Salary minimum 300 us $/ month

4. Salary minimum 300 us             400 US $                     250 US $
$/ month

 Limitation: because of not make use of all available info & are non compensatory,
 screening rules are appropriate only for rough sorting or ranking task

3.Occupation-specific rules of thumb
• Ex Of Thumb: In restaurant , often price meals by
  taking the cost of the raw food and multiplying by
  three.
Systematic Approach or Linear Model
Background
In making final choices, the biggest problems are overcoming:
1. own random inconsistency
2. own inability to effectively process the large quantity of
available information




                    Linear Model
                       Solution
Linear Model
Linear model solution:
   1.maximize chances of making the best choice if we find a
   systematic way to evaluate all the evidence favorable or
   unfavorable to each possible choice
   2.compare the strength of evidence on each side rigorously
   3.pick the choice that our system indicates the evidence
     favors                        Subjective Linear

        Linear Model

                                 Objective Linear
                                     Model
Subjective Linear Model
Procedure :
        1. list each factor that provides evidence for or
        against various alternative



             2. assign weights to each factor to reflect their
             relative importance


                   3. make a numerical rating of the extent to
                   which the evidence about each factor favors (or
                   argues against) each alternative

                        4. multiply the score each alternative receives
                        on each factor by the weight assigned to that
                        factor, then add up all the results to get an
                        overall score for each alternative

Bootstrapping
Bootstrapping As Solution

   T o choose weights is through a procedure called
   bootstrapping


                   infer statistically through a " regression analysis"
                   what weights implicitly using to arrive at the
                   particular ranking

   seek to build a model of an expert using his/her own
  intuitive predictions, and then use that model to
  outperform the expert on new cases


                    eliminate the random noise/inconsistencies and retain the core wisdom
                    of the human expert, thus it produces a standard procedure for
                    judgment
Objective Linear Model
Conditions for building an objective linear
     model
 1. if the same decision is made repeatedly
 2. if data on the outcomes of past decisions
     are available
 3. if you have good reason to expect that
     the future will resemble the past
Step
• Construct an objective linear model in
     the same way as a subjective linear
     model
• The difference is the weight infer by
     statistic from actual past result rather
     than subjectivity of expert
Choosing the right techniques for your decision


• Multiattribute utililty Analysis
  1. For simple decisions, where little is at stake, intuitively or with simple
  decision rules
  2. Use statistical decision rules based on an objective linear model to
  make any important decisions or judgments that are faced repeatedly if
  data exist to create an objective linear model
  3. Subjective linear model when making important decision that cannot
  be addressed with an objective linear model
Conclusion
Conclusion
1. Avoid Shooting from the Hip
2. Intuition achieve much less consistency than generally
   suspected so we must using linear model
3. The future of decision making is using
   Formal decision rules and systematic models
