Measuring Balance Abilities of Transtibial Amputees Using Multiattribute Utility Theory. [PDF]
Background. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) can be considered the standard for assessment of functional balance but has a noted ceiling effect in active transtibial amputees (TTAs). Development of ceiling‐free measures based on quantitative measurement techniques that is suitable for patients in any experience levels, yet sensitive enough to capture ...

Multiattribute Utility Theory Without Expected Utility Foundations [PDF]
Methods for determining the form of utilities are needed for the implementation of utility theory in specific decisions. An important step forward was achieved when utility theorists characterized useful parametric families of utilities and simplifying decompositions of multiattribute utilities.

AN EXPERIMENT IN MULTIATTRIBUTE UTILITY THEORY [PDF]
A version of multiattribute utility theory is evaluated as an aid to social decision making using an Australian case study. A multiattribute utility function is assessed over the descriptive, discrete decision alternatives of the decision problem rather than over the risky consequences of the attributes as in the standard approach.

Anchor Levels as a New Tool for the Theory and Measurement of Multiattribute Utility [PDF]
This paper introduces anchor levels as a new tool for multiattribute utility theory. Anchor levels are attribute levels whose values are not affected by other attributes. They allow for new interpretations and generalizations of known representations and utility measurement techniques. Generalizations of earlier techniques can be obtained because cases

Clarifying the role of an unavailable distractor in human multiattribute choice [PDF]
Decisions between two economic goods can be swayed by a third unavailable ‘decoy’ alternative, which does not compete for choice, notoriously violating the principles of rational choice theory.

Fundamental Measurement: The Need Fulfilment Quality of Life (N-QOL) Measure [PDF]
The quality adjusted life year (QALY) has serious problems related to its failure to adhere to measurement theory. If a QALY is to be meaningful, the utility score that translates time spent to an equivalent time spent in so-called perfect health must ...

Control Sequence Ranking for Critical System Based on Health of Equipment Thanks to Choquet Integral [PDF]
This paper presents a ranking method of operating sequences based on the actual condition of complex systems. This objective is achieved using the health checkup concept and the multiattribute utility theory. Our contribution is the proposal of sequences

Cumulative Prospect Theory for Parametric and Multiattribute Utilities [PDF]
Different attitudes towards gains and losses are a prominent feature of cumulative prospect theory for decision under uncertainty. In particular, decision weights for uncertain events can depend on whether the events involve gains or losses, and the shape of the utility function can reveal loss aversion.
