From Decision Theory to Game Theory - Reasoning about the Decisions of Others

Through this book the reader learns how to reason about games with incomplete information, games with unawareness and psychological games in a unified way. The reader will also see a natural bridge between one-person decision theory and game theory, by viewing each game as a collection of one-person decision problems.
