Below is a (growing!) list of decision models and the various tools available, with links to more detailed explanations of some of them. I plan to write a page about the rest of them over time.
In keeping with the layout of the rest of this site, they are divided into Rational, Intuitive, Combined (rational and intuitive), Group Decision Making and Miscellaneous. The various models are listed in alphabetical order for ease of reference and if a model has many names, these are placed in alphabetical order too.
The aim is to have a centralized page with all the information available in one place, with comments and opinions on the best decision models available.
Have you devised your own model or do you have one that works for you? Is there a model you'd like to see on the list? Share it with other readers here...
In this way, you get to build your own page about your favorite model, others benefit from your knowledge, and you benefit from theirs!

I'd like to have a page where all the decision models are listed, each with a link to a page describing it.
If you know of a model that you would like to see listed, you can add it here!
You have probably noticed that I am moving the whole Mind Control section to a new site. Please excuse any inconvenience. I expect to have made the whole move in the next few days.
This is the new site www.pschobegone.com. Feel free to come and visit. Any suggestions will be gratefully received!
