What makes a useful maturity model? a framework of general design principles for maturity models and its demonstration in business process management (2011, background): “According to decision theory (Peterson 2009), a decision calculus helps decision makers to evaluate different alternatives with respect to given objectives and to identify which (optimal) alternative satisfies the objectives best.”
Why hydrological predictions should be evaluated using information theory (2010, background): “…preferences must be complete (a forecast must either be better than, worse than, or equally good as another one) and transitive (preferences can not form a loop like A>B>C>A, where > denotes " is better than " ), which are the same requirements that are applicable to probability (Peterson, 2009).”
Emergent Complexity and Zero-shot Transfer via Unsupervised Environment Design (2020, background): “Each of these choices also have a corresponding decision rule used for making decisions under ignorance [27].”
