Abstract: The main objectives of this note are to point out some strengths and some limitations of Kirkwood's algebraic method for decision problems, and to propose a modification to address the limitations. The modification is based on the valuation network technique, and it enables us to better relate Kirkwood's method to the graphical techniques of valuation networks and influence diagrams.
