Applied Decision Science

Data is ubiquitous but must be harnessed to generate solutions to real-world problems. The Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences uses the tools of evidence-based decision making to help tackle challenges faced by the public and business sectors. Our approach: We combine the tools of the decision sciences with data analytics to develop data-driven solutions.
