Question
The doctor must decide which medication to prescribe to the patient. Possible states are s∈[0,1]. She has three medications available: A, B, and C. The effect of medication A is described by the blue function, the effect of medication B by the red function, and the effect of medication C by the black function. For which medication will the doctor decide if she decides based on the maximax criterion and Wald's maximin criterion?
The blue function is defined as fA(s)=1/5(cos(4s)+2), the red function is fB(s)=2/5(sin(4s)+1), and the black function is fC(s)=1/2. For which medication will the doctor decide if she decides based on Laplace's criterion?
