Transitivity in health utility measurement: An experimental analysis
Several experimental studies have observed substantial violations of transitivity for decisions between risky lotteries over monetary outcomes. The goal of our experiment is to test whether these violations also affect the evaluation of health states. A particular feature of our experimental design is that it takes into account the possible role of decision errors for generating violations of t...
متن کاملExpected utility without full transitivity
We generalize the classical expected-utility criterion by weakening transitivity to the conjunction of transitive indifference and Suzumura consistency. In the absence of full transitivity, completeness no longer follows as a consequence of the system of axioms employed and a richer class of rankings of probability distributions results. This class is characterized by means of standard expected...
متن کاملHealth related utility measurement in rheumatology: an introduction.
Utility measures of health-related quality of life are preference values that patients attach to their overall health status. In clinical trials, utility measures summarize both positive and negative effects of an intervention into one single value between 0 (equal to death) and 1 (equal to perfect health). These measures allow for comparison of patient outcomes of different diseases and allow ...
متن کاملTitle Expected utility without full transitivity
We generalize the classical expected-utility criterion by weakening transitivity to Suzumura consistency. In the absence of full transitivity, reflexivity and completeness no longer follow as a consequence of the system of axioms employed and a richer class of rankings of probability distributions results. This class is characterized by means of standard expected-utility axioms in addition to S...
متن کاملUtility Estimation of Health Status of Cancer Patients by Mapping for Cost-Utility Analysis
Background: It is important to obtain accurate information about the preferences of people for measuring quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), because it is necessary for cost-utility analysis. In this regard, mapping is a method to access this information. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to map Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy – General (FACT-G) onto Short Form Six Dimension (SF...
