The DTREE Procedure |
Continuing with the oil wildcatter’s problem, suppose that in addition to possibly buying insurance to spread the risk of the venture, the wildcatter is considering sharing the risk by selling a portion of this venture to other investors. Now, the decision he faces is whether to buy insurance or not and what percentage of the investment to divest. Again, assume that the wildcatter is risk averse with a risk tolerance of $. Notice that in the program that follows the 'Divestment' decision includes possibilities of no divestment to % divestment in % increments.

The probabilities associated with the uncertain events are given in the PROBIN= data set named Dtoilp4. Except for the order of the variables in this data set, it is the same as the Dtoilp1 data set used in the section Introductory Example.

The optimal decision summaries in Output 7.2.2 and Output 7.2.3 show the optimal strategy for the wildcatter.
The wildcatter should sell % of his investment to other companies and reject the insurance policy offered to him.
The insurance policy should be accepted only if the decision to not divest is made.
If the decision to buy the insurance policy is made, then it is optimal to divest % of the venture.

This information can be illustrated graphically using the GPLOT procedure. Output 7.2.4, produced by the PROC GPLOT statements shown in the following code, provides a clear picture of the effects of the divestment possibilities and the insurance options.

Note that the data input into the Data2g data set is obtained from the optimal decision summary as in Output 7.2.3. The value of the INSURE variable represents the alternative 'Buy_Insurance' and the value represents the alternative 'Do_Not_Buy'.
