The difficulty is modeled with a payoff matrix Rij in which the strip index i describes a alternative that should be made by the payer, while the pillar index j describes a random variable that the payer does not yet have information of, that has probability pj of being in state j. If the payer is to choose i without understanding the worth ofj, the best alternative is the one that maximizes the expected monetary value:

where

is the anticipated payoff for action i i.e. the expectation value, and

is selecting the greatest of these anticipations for all accessible actions. On the other hand, with flawless information of j, thecontestant may select a worth of i that optimizes the anticipation for that specific j. Therefore, the anticipated worth grantedflawless data is

where pj is the likelihood that the scheme is in state j, and Rij is the pay-off if one pursues action i while the scheme is in state j. Here  indicates the best alternative of action i for each state j.

The anticipated worth of flawless data is the distinction between these two quantities,

This distinction recounts, in anticipation, how much bigger a worth the contestant can wish to get by knowing j and picking the best i for that j, as in evaluation to picking a worth of i before j is ...
