A computer-implemented decision device and a family of methods and
procedures are used for representing and analyzing imprecise, vague, and
incomplete probabilistic decision and risk problems and/or when a
criteria hierarchy is present. Decision makers can state the problems
simply with the precision the decision-makers feel they have evidence
for. Probabilities, values (utilities), criteria weights with belief
distributions over them, and optimization procedures for fast evaluation
of decision rules with respect to such statements are determined and
analyzed.
