We take part in hundreds of decisions per day, both individually and collectively. During the last one hundred years, advances in applied philosophy and probability theory have contributed tools for representing decisions, their rationales, and outcomes with clarity and precision. Alongside these developments have emerged findings in the behavioral sciences about how individuals and groups tend to make decisions in practice. The former (normative) and the latter (descriptive) branches of decision science offer us complementary windows into the decisions we face in our personal and professional lives. In our work as information specialists, the tools of decision theory can help us incorporate our familiar inferential modeling and analysis methods into wellreasoned justifications for plans of action.
