Decision analysts are people who use formal methods, particularly Expected Utility Theory, to assist others in decision making.
Famous quotes containing the words decision and/or analyst:
“A good decision is based on knowledge and not on numbers.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Freudianism is much more nearly a religion than a science, inasmuch as the relation between analyst and patient has a great deal in common with that between priest and communicant at confessional, and such ideas as the Oedipus complex, the superego, the libido, and the id exert an effect upon the converted which is almost identical with what flows to the devout Christian from godhead, trinity, grace, and immortality.”
—Robert Nisbet (b. 1913)
