Utility Independence in a Qualitative Decision Theory
Qualitative accounts of utility modeling and decision theory o er the prospect of rea soning about preference and decision making without requiring hard to obtain numerical probabilities and utilities It is plausible that such accounts can be found because qualita tive criteria in particular dominance seems to play a large role in human decision making the formal quantitative apparatus of maxi ...

متن کاملConditional Utility, Utility Independence, and Utility Networks
We introduce a new interpretation of two re lated notions conditional utility and utility independence. Unlike the traditional inter pretation, the new interpretation render the notions the direct analogues of their prob abilistic counterparts. To capture these no tions formally, we appeal to the notion of util ity distribution, introduced in previous paper. We show that utility distributi...
متن کاملOrdinal One-Switch Utility Functions
We study the problem of finding ordinal utility functions to rank the outcomes of a decision when preference independence between the attributes is not present. We propose that the next level of complexity is to assume that preferences over one attribute can switch at most once as another attribute varies from low to high. We refer to this property as ordinal one-switch independence. We present...
متن کاملA Test of Quasi-independence in Ordinal Triangular Contingency Tables
A new procedure for testing quasi-independence in an ordinal triangular contingency table is proposed as a generalization of Pearson's chi square test. The test is asymptotically equivalent in terms of power to the corresponding restricted likelihood ratio test for contiguous alternatives. Numerical results are also included in this study.
