R. Duncan Luce ist Distinguished Research Professor für Kognitionswissenschaften und Research Professor für Ökonomie an der University of California, Irvine. Seine Arbeit konzentriert sich auf mathematische Modelle menschlicher Entscheidungsfindung und Wahrnehmung. Luce formulierte zentrale Axiome und Theorien, die Prinzipien der Wahl und Psychophysik formalisieren und somit wesentlich zur Entwicklung mathematischer Verhaltenswissenschaften beitrugen. Seine innovativen Ansätze verbinden Mathematik mit Psychologie und Ökonomie und bieten tiefe Einblicke in rationales Verhalten.

A classic series in the field of quantitative measurement, Volume I introduces the distinct mathematical results that serve to formulate numerical representations of qualitative structures. Volume II extends the subject in the direction of geometrical, threshold, and probabilistic representations, and Volume III examines representation as expressed in axiomatization and invariance. 1989 edition.
