A mathematical function is a formula that takes an input, x, applies a set of calculations to it, and produces an output called y. By calculating a function at a large number of set intervals, it is ...

This paper proposes a two-step method to successively elicit utility functions and decision weights under rank-dependent expected utility theory and its "more descriptive" version: cumulative prospect ...

The construction of a multiattribute utility function is an important step in decision analysis. One of the most widely used conditions for constructing the utility function is the assumption of ...
