Victor Vroom, a professor at Yale University and a scholar on leadership and decision-making, developed the normative model of decision-making. Drawing upon literature from the areas of leadership, group decision-making, and procedural fairness, Vroom’s model predicts the effectiveness of decision-making procedures. Specifically, Vroom’s model takes into account the situation and the importance of the decision to determine which of Vroom’s five decision-making methods will be most effective. (Wikipedia).
(ML 11.4) Choosing a decision rule - Bayesian and frequentist
Choosing a decision rule, from Bayesian and frequentist perspectives. To make the problem well-defined from the frequentist perspective, some additional guiding principle is introduced such as unbiasedness, minimax, or invariance.

Causal Behavioral Modeling Framework - Discrete Choice Modeling of Consumer Demand
There are increasing demands for "causal ML models" of the agent behaviors, which enable us to unbox the complex black-box models and make inferences or do proper counterfactual simulations. Many applications (especially in Marketing) intrinsically call for measurement of the causal impact

Habermas on the Concept of Practical Reason (1988)
Jürgen Habermas gives a 1988 talk at Berkeley on the concept of practical reason (pragmatic, ethical, and moral uses). Once again, I tried to transcribe the lecture in order to make it easier to follow. It should be fairly good, but it is likely not free of errors. Note, the introduction h
