Multi-Attribute Utility Theory

2012
Multi-attribute utility theory is an extension of Utility theory developed to help decision-makers assign utility values, taking into consideration the decision-maker’s preferences, to outcomes by evaluating these in terms of multiple attributes and combining these individual assignments to obtain overall utility measures.

A Nonlinear Multi-Attribute Utility Theory

1985
In this paper we discuss a new nonlinear Multi-Attribute Utility Function (MAUF) which is quasi-concave. Three types of information on the local scaling constants (coefficients) are defined which are partial, complete, and global. We discuss optimality and how to obtain the most preferred alternative using a partially known MAUF.

Multi-Attribute Utility Theory: Models and Assessment Procedures

1975
This article reviews multi-attribute utility theory under a measurement theoretic perspective. It describes and classifies decision situations according to three salient aspects of choice: uncertainty, time-variability, and multi-dimensionality. For each choice situation the main mathematical representations, their interrelations and differences are ...

Application of Multi-Attribute Utility Theory

1977
Tversky (1967) identified a major goal of scientific investigation as the decomposition of complex phenomena into sets of ‘basic’ factors according to specifiable rules of combination. Following this approach, this review evaluates Multi-attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) in terms of its claim to success in providing an axiomatization of decomposition and

Multi-Attribute Utility Theory Based K-Means Clustering Applications

International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining, 2017
One of major obstacles in the application of the k-means clustering algorithm is the selection of the number of clusters k. The multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT)-based k-means clustering algorithm is proposed to tackle the problem by incorporating user preferences.

Use of a Multi-attribute Utility Theory Model in Computer System Selection.

Journal of Information Systems, 1988
Abstract Computer system cost is a major capital expenditure for most business organizations. The impact of the decision in selecting a particular computer system pertains to not only the immediate financial resources but also the long-term commitment to the chosen system.

A Multi Attribute Utility Theory Approach to FMECA implementation in the food industry

2006
The present paper describes a methodological approach for a failure criticality analysis applied to an Italian food firm that produces Prosciutto di Parma® jam. The study aims at identifying the most relevant failures of the jam production plant so that to implement maintenance management system based on the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM ...
