Polytomous Choice

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:

    Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
