Wittemore, Bruce J.; Yovits, M. C. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
A generalized framework for developing analytical and conceptual relationships involving the flow of information has previously been suggested. This paper provides further refinement, rigor, and extension for some of the earlier relationships suggested. (12 references) (Author)

Yovits, M. C.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1981
This second of two related articles by the same authors describes a simulation model which permits examination of the interrelationship between information and decision making for a variety of situations. Prototype experiments which place human decision makers in an interactive decision-making mode are also described. Five references are cited.…

Yovits, M. C.; And Others – 1977
This paper describes research being carried out at the Ohio State University leading toward a general theory of information flow and analysis. The objectives of this program sponsored by the National Science Foundation include the following: (1) to develop a theory of information flow and analysis; (2) to identify important parameters and…

Whittemore, B. J.; Yovits, M. C. – 1972
A generalized framework for developing analytical and conceptual relationships involving the flow of information has been suggested. This paper provides further refinement, rigor, and extension for some of the earlier relationships suggested. In particular, a measure of the amount of information is defined as the difference of the value of the…

Yovits, M. C.; Foulk, C. R. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1985
Describes experiments relating information to decision making. The experiments were developed to validate previously suggested conceptual model of information flow and its relation to decision making and to establish specific values for significant parameters involved. Background and summary of recent research and experimental design and research…
