Abstract
The authors include very general topical summaries in utility theory, mathematical programming, statistical methods, scoring and ranking methods, and cognitive science. The emphasis is on the role of decision analysis in the management of research and development projects. The intent is to provide nonspecialists with a broad survey of the many facets of decision theory.
