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:
“If the heart beguiles itself in its choice [of a wife], and imagination will give excellencies which are not the portion of flesh and blood:Mwhen the dream is over, and we awake in the morning, it matters little whether ‘tis Rachael or Leah,—be the object what it will, as it must be on the earthly side ... of perfection,—it will fall short of the work of fancy, whose existence is in the clouds.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
