This volume is the result of a conference held at the University of
California, Irvine, on the topics that provide its title -- choice,
decision, and measurement. The conference was planned, and the
volume prepared, in honor of Professor R. Duncan Luce on his 70th
birthday. Following a short autobiographical statement by Luce, the
volume is organized into four topics, to each of which Luce has
made significant contributions.
The book provides an overview of current issues in each area and
presents some of the best recent theoretical and empirical work.
Personal reflections on Luce and his work begin each section. These
reflections were written by outstanding senior researchers: Peter
Fishburn (Preference and Decision Making), Patrick Suppes
(Measurement Theory and Axiomatic Systems), William J. McGill
(Psychophysics and Reaction Time), and W.K. Estes (Choice,
Identification and Categorization).
The first section presents recent theoretical and empirical work
on descriptive models of decision making, and theoretical results
on general probabilistic models of choice and ranking. Luce's
recent theoretical and empirical work on rank- and sign-dependent
utility theory is important in many of these contributions. The
second section presents results from psychophysics, probabilistic
measurement, aggregation of expert opinion, and test theory. The
third section presents various process oriented models, with
supportive data, for tasks such as redundant signal detection,
forced choice, and absolute identification. The final section
contains theory and data on categorization and attention, and
general theoretical results for developing and testing models in
these domains.
