Description

Notebook proposal

Title: Bayesian Decision Analysis

Why should this notebook be added to pymc-examples?

PyMC lacking an example of a Bayesian Decision Analysis, much in the style of an example in Stan's Users Guide (see reference). I could try to create a Notebook, if that's of interest.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the pymc-examples notebook collection and the linked Stan Users Guide decision-analysis example. Determine the intended Bayesian decision-analysis scope, including posterior predictive quantities and a utility function, then create a corresponding Python Jupyter notebook. Done means the example is complete, understandable, and consistent with the repository's existing notebooks.
