The Zero-Condition: A Simplifying Assumption in QALY Measurement and Multiattribute Utility
Management Science, 1998 This paper studies the implications of the "zero-condition" for multiattribute utility theory. The zero-condition simplifies the measurement and derivation of the Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) measure commonly used in medical decision analysis.

Missing consequences in multiattribute utility theory
Omega, 2009This 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 Utility Theory and Environmental Decisions
Journal of the Environmental Engineering Division, 1980The 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, 2000This 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 ...

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.

Advances in multiattribute utility theory
Theory and Decision, 1980Several 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 ...

An application of multiattribute utility theory to the planning of emergency medical services
Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1984This research considers the problem of relating Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to patient outcome. The hypothesis is that response time alone may be misleading as an EMS performance criterion. This research uses methods for approximating multiattribute utility functions to consider both response time and on-the-scene care.

Use of multiattribute utility theory for formulary management in a health system
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2010The application, utility, and flexibility of the multiattribute utility theory (MAUT) when used as a formulary decision methodology in a Korean medical center were evaluated.A drug analysis model using MAUT consisting of 10 steps was designed for two drug classes of dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers ...
