Evaluating Tisza River Basin Development Plans Using Multiattribute Utility Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 1976
Selecting a plan to develop the water resources of a region involves the consideration of economic, environmental, social, and technical objectives. Twelve attributes are defined to indicate the degree to which these objectives are achieved in the Tisza River basin of Hungary.

Missing consequences in multiattribute utility theory

Omega, 2009
This paper addresses how to deal with decision alternatives with missing consequences in multicriteria decision-making problems. We propose disregarding the attributes for which a decision alternative provides no consequence by redistributing their respective weights throughout the objective hierarchy in favor of a straightforward idea: the assignation

Multiattribute Nonlinear Utility Theory

Management Science, 1984
Independence axioms similar to those proposed for multiattribute von Neumann–Morgenstern linear utility theory are examined in the context of new nonlinear utility theories developed by Chew and MacCrimmon, and Fishburn. These new theories weaken the independence axiom of von Neumann and Morgenstern, and Fishburn's theory does not require preferences ...

Multiattribute Utility Theory and Environmental Decisions

Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1980
The evaluative framework describes systems in terms of environmental attributes, components, and measureable parameters. Indicators of pollution levels called numeraires, are constructed to represent one or more parameters. Utility functions, reflective of the desirability of pollution levels, are developed for each numeraire.

CHOQUET INTEGRAL MODELS AND INDEPENDENCE CONCEPTS IN MULTIATTRIBUTE UTILITY THEORY

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2000
This paper discusses multiattribute preference relations compatible with a value/utility function represented by the Choquet integral with respect to a fuzzy measure, and shows that the additivity of the fuzzy measure is equivalent to each of mutual preferential independence, mutual weak difference independence, mutual difference independence, mutual ...

Evaluating inherently safer design with multiattribute utility theory

Process Safety Progress, 2018
Incorporating inherently safer design (ISD) into a process safety program can benefit a site's overall process safety program. However, ISD solutions are rarely capable of being implemented without consideration of various tradeoffs associated with other critical operating factors at a plant. Critics have often accused companies of failing to implement

Advances in multiattribute utility theory

Theory and Decision, 1980
Several advances in multiattribute expected utility theory have emerged recently. Much of the existing theory deals with independence axioms on whole attributes and the corresponding utility decompositions. This paper reviews three alternate approaches for obtaining representations of multiattribute utility functions: (1) multi-valent preference ...
