Sensitivity analysis incorporating fuzzy evaluation for scaling constants of multiattribute utility functions
A multiattribute utility function can be represented by a function of single-attribute utility functions if the decision maker’s preference satisfies additive independence or mutually utility independence. Additive independence is a preference condition stronger than mutually utility independence, and the multiattribute utility function is in the additive form if the former condition is satisfi...
متن کاملOne-Switch Independence for Multiattribute Utility Functions
Assessment of multiattribute utility functions is significantly simplified if it is possible to decompose the function into more manageable pieces. Utility independence is a powerful property that serves well for this purpose, but if it is not appropriate in a given situation, what options does the analyst have? We review some possibilities and propose a new independence assumption based on the...
متن کاملA Characterization of Quality-Adjusted Life-Years Under Cumulative Prospect Theory
Quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) are the most common utility measure in medical decision analysis and economic evaluations of health care. This paper presents an axiomatization of QALYs under cumulative prospect theory (CPT), currently the most influential model for decision under uncertainty. Because the set of health states need not be endowed with a natural topology that is connected, we ...
متن کاملMultiattribute Structure for QALYs
H status is inherently a multiattribute construct. We examine multiattribute utility decompositions for the quality-adjusted life year (QALY) utility model commonly employed in medical decision and costeffectiveness analyses. We consider several independence conditions on preference, including the classical notions of preferential independence and utility independence, as well as new related no...
متن کاملEvaluating the Benefits of Generalized Additive Representation in a Multiattribute Auction Setting
We compare the economic efficiency achieved by multiattribute auctions that use an accurate GAI modeling of preferences, with a multiattribute auction that is limited to an additive representation. We draw random GAI-structured utility functions with various internal structures, generate additive functions that approximate the GAI utility, and compare the performance of the auctions using the t...
