This just-released Spanish-language textbook from Professor Jorge Muro Arbulú is a great contemporary look at how to utilize quantitative model-based methods for complex decisions. Proficiency in quantitative methods is not about advanced mathematics, statistics, or computer science – a focus of most other textbooks. The most important core skills involve breaking down real-life situations into well-defined variables and influences, expressing belief as probability, and knowing how to apply specific types of analyses in pragmatic situations.
The book emphasizes these deeper skills and uses concrete examples to show how to build a model as an influence diagram and how to use multidimensional arrays to capture data complexity without increasing model complexity. A series of workable exercises provides comprehensive coverage of relevant topics. An English-language version will be released later in 2020. The book is available via PayPal for $90.
