Agricultural Risk Aversion Revisited: A Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach [PDF]
In modelling farm systems it is widely accepted that risk plays a central role. Furthermore, farmers' risk aversion determines their decisions in both the short and the long run.

Ranking Alternatives on the Basis of a Dominance Intensity Measure [PDF]
The additive multi-attribute utility model is widely used within MultiAttribute Utility Theory (MAUT), demanding all the information describing the decision-making situation. However, these information requirements can obviously be far too strict in many

Abstract The results of earthquake damage certification (EDC) surveys are the basis of support measures for improving the lives of disaster victims. To address issues such as a limited workforce to perform EDC surveys and difficulties in judging the level of damage, a damage detection and level classification method for wooden houses using multiple ...

The integrated optimisation of shop scheduling and machine layout for discrete manufacturing considering uncertain events is proposed in this paper. An improved immune genetic algorithm is designed to solve the corresponding mathematical model efficiently by dual‐layer encoding, which is good at global optimisation.

A Duality Procedure to Elicit Nonlinear Multiattribute Utility Functions. [PDF]
The practical implementation of the Multiattribute Utility Theory is limited, partly for the lack of operative methods to elicit the parameters of the Multiattribute Utility Function, particularly when this function is not linear.

Cumulative Prospect Theory for Parametric and Multiattribute Utilities [PDF]
In cumulative prospect theory models, different behavior concerning gains and losses is per-mitted. For gains different decision weights are assigned than for losses, and the shape of utility can reveal loss aversion.
