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.
