Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Law

Ward Edwards mostly deals with Econometrics, Bayesian inference, Statistics, Management science and Decision analysis. His Econometrics research integrates issues from Relation and Binomial. His studies in Bayesian inference integrate themes in fields like Judgement, Statistical hypothesis testing, Statistical inference and Presentation.

His Statistics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Information processing and Normative. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Influence diagram, R-CAST, Inference, Variety and Operations research. His Decision analysis study incorporates themes from Decision support system and Decision rule.

His most cited work include:

  • Decision analysis and behavioral research (2256 citations)
  • The theory of decision making. (1991 citations)
  • Bayesian statistical inference for psychological research. (1233 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Ward Edwards focuses on Statistics, Econometrics, Decision analysis, Management science and Decision theory. In his research on the topic of Statistics, Choice set and Binomial is strongly related with Normative. His Econometrics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Probability distribution, Statistical inference and Bayesian inference.

Ward Edwards has researched Statistical inference in several fields, including Inference and Frequentist inference. In the subject of general Decision analysis, his work in Decision engineering is often linked to Multi-attribute utility, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His Management science study combines topics in areas such as Function and Operations research.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Statistics (21.62%)
  • Econometrics (20.72%)
  • Decision analysis (15.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2014)?

  • Decision analysis (15.32%)
  • Management science (14.41%)
  • Epistemology (1.80%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ward Edwards mainly focuses on Decision analysis, Management science, Epistemology, Business decision mapping and Evidential reasoning approach. His research integrates issues of Actuarial science, Mood, Cognitive science, Criticism and Utility model in his study of Decision analysis. His Management science studies intersect with other subjects such as Rand corporation and Decision process.

His Epistemology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Environmental ethics, Sure-thing principle, Decision theory and Expected value model. His Business decision mapping research incorporates themes from Decision tree and Influence diagram. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Multiple-criteria decision analysis, Operations research, Optimal decision, Decision problem and Decision rule.

Between 1997 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Advances in decision analysis : from foundations to applications (218 citations)
  • Advances in Decision Analysis (130 citations)
  • Problem formulation for multi-criteria decision analysis: Report of a workshop (29 citations)
