From OC Metro:
This past weekend, renowned UC Irvine social scientist and psychologist R. Duncan
Luce died following a short illness. A National Medal of Science recipient and pioneer
in the field of mathematical psychology, Luce was a part of UCI during two periods
in the university's development. He was 87 years old. Luce was the first in his field
of study to combine formal mathematical models with psychological experiments to predict
human behavior, a method that forever altered existing theories of individual and
group decision-making. His reputation as one of the most influential figures was built
on his innovative new methods and his body of work spanning more than 5 decades, which
included nine books and more than 250 scientific articles.
