Ternary-decimal exclusion algorithm for multiattribute utility functions

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

We propose methods to eliminate redundant utility assessments in decision analysis applications. We abstract a set of utility assessments such that the set is represented as a matrix of ternary numbers. To achieve efficiency, the matrix is converted to a decimal vector for further processing. The resulting approach demonstrates excellent performance on random sets of utility assessments. The method eliminates the redundant questions for the decision maker and can serve for consistency check.
