Multiple Criteria Decision Making, Multiattribute Utility Theory: The Next Ten Years

open access: yes
Management science and decision science have grown exponentially since midcentury. Two closely-related fields central to this growth are multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and multiattribute utility theory (MAUT). This paper comments on the history

AN EXPERIMENT IN MULTIATTRIBUTE UTILITY THEORY

open access: yes
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 ...

Public Affairs Decision Making in the U.S. Air Force: An Application of Multiattribute Utility Theory

open access: yes, 1998
Public relations decision making by U.S. Air Force public affairs personnel was evaluated by using multiattribute utility theory. Exploratory cluster analysis revealed that only 48% of the decisions adequately fit the public relations excellence ...

Nominalist Heuristics and Economic Theory [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper introduces a new theoretic entity, a nominalist heuristic, defined as a focus on prominent numbers, indices or ratios. Abstractions used in the evaluation stage of decision making typically involve nominalist heuristics that are incompatible ...

Multiobjective Programming and Multiattribute Utility Functions in Portfolio Optimization

open access: yes, 2009
In recent years portfolio optimization models that consider more criteria than the expected return and variance objectives of the Markowitz model have become popular. These models are harder to solve than the quadratic mean-variance problem.
