In particular, it discusses the evolution of these methods, presents new methodological advances and illustrates their use across several application domains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book offers a many-faceted treatment of portfolio decision analysis (PDA). Among other things, it (i) synthesizes the state-of-play in PDA, (ii) describes novel methodologies, (iii) fosters the deployment of these methodologies, and (iv) contributes to the strengthening of research on PDA. Portfolio problems are widely regarded as the single most important application context of decision analysis, and, with its extensive and unique coverage of these problems, this book is a much-needed addition to the literature. The book also presents innovative treatments of new methodological approaches and their uses in applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe intended audience consists of practitioners and researchers who wish to gain a good understanding of portfolio decision analysis and insights into how PDA methods can be leveraged in different application contexts. The book can also be employed in courses at the post-graduate level.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-08-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441999429\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4419-9943-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 409\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378473230476,"sku":"9781441999429","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441999429.jpg?v=1775004622","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441999429","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
