DECISION HIERARCHY 2)
← Back
An embedded set of decision processes of wider and wider scope from lower to higher levels.
M. TODA states: "(a) given decision problem may be a nested one within a grander decision problem which is nested within a further grander decision problem and so on. Formally, therefore any decision problem is situated within an infinitely self-embedded hierarchy of decision problems, which shall be referred to as the decision hierarchy" (1976, p.80).
It is however difficult to see why the decision hierarchy should be infinite. ("The buck stops here"!)
