Assessing the utility of multiattribute utility assessments
Organizational Behavior and Human Performance, 1980Abstract The usefulness of multiattribute utility (MAU) analysis was assessed by comparing the sensitivity to both relevant and irrelevant information of analytically derived judgments and of holistic judgments. Subjects evaluated four hypothetical apartments, described to them in a series of letters, by indicating how much rent they would be willing

Multiattribute utility copulas for multiobjective control
2013 American Control Conference, 2013In this paper, a design of control laws for mobile agents intending to accomplish multiple objectives is proposed. The agents wish to reach assigned waypoints and at the same time avoid collisions between one another and with static obstacles. A gradient-based controller is constructed using non-negative objective functions and a multiattribute utility

Multiattribute Utility and Derived Utility
1987An individual’s fundamental utility is a function of many variables or attributes. Even in a single time period, it is a function of consumption of many goods, purchased at given prices and, it is to be hoped, optimally within a budget constraint. Even if single-period consumption is reduced to a single spending variable, trade-offs are required across

Multiattribute Utility Analysis
1988Multiattribute utility analysis is concerned with the judgmental phase of MCDM. This method provides a heuristic device for constructing the scalar-valued valuation function defined on multiple objectives. This device for scalarization of vector-valued objectives intends to directly cope with the noncommensurability of the multiple objectives and to ...

The utility theory approach is an attempt to rigorously apply objective measurement to decision making. Also known as the decision analysis method, the principle behind utility theory is that if alternative performances on concrete, measurable attributes are compared in a rational, unbiased manner, sounder decisions will result.

Directional Decomposition of Multiattribute Utility Functions
2009Several schemes have been proposed for compactly representing multiattribute utility functions, yet none seems to achieve the level of success achieved by Bayesian and Markov models for probability distributions. In an attempt to bridge the gap, we propose a new representation for utility functions which follows its probabilistic analog to a greater ...

Pyramid and Semicube Decompositions of Multiattribute Utility Functions
Operations Research, 1976We apply the fractional hypercube decomposition theorem for multiattribute utility functions to the quasi-pyramid, the pyramid, and the semicube fractions. The resulting nonadditive utility models illustrate the broad range of decompositions that can be obtained with this fractional hypercube methodology.

Multiattribute Utility Analysis for Ultralog
2005Abstract : The goal of this project was to develop and apply appropriate metrics to represent the functional and survivability characteristics of an experimental agent-based logistics system (UltraLog) and to apply the metrics in tools that would assist system designers, developers, and evaluators to compare, quantify, generate figures of merit, and ...

Validation of Multiattribute Utility Procedures
1982Abstract : Validation topics were examined through both a real-world and laboratory setting. In the laboratory experiments we taught subjects additive and multiplicative value functions via outcome feedback. We found that standard MAUM procedures recovered the taught functions.
