In economics, polytomous choice is a setting (model) with more than two choices; contrast to dichotomous choice. Polychotomous being the preferred term already published and in use to describe decisions involving variables with more than two states.
Famous quotes containing the word choice:
“Then did they strive with emulation who should repeat most wise maxims importing the necessity of suspicion in the choice of our friends—such as “mistrust is the mother of security,” with many more to the same effect.... But notwithstanding the esteem which they professed for suspicion, yet did they think proper to veil it under the name of caution.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
