Traditional models of conjoint measurement look for an additive representation of transitive
preferences. They have been generalized in two directions. Nontransitive additive conjoint …

This paper offers a brief and nontechnical introduction to the use of conjoint measurement in
multiple criteria decision making. The emphasis is on the, central, additive value function …

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 …

This paper presents a self-contained introduction to a general conjoint measurement
framework for the analysis of nontransitive and/or incomplete binary relations on product …

It is well known that a weak order≾ on a finite set X= X1× X2 has an additive real-valued
order-preserving representation if and only if≾ on X satisfies a denumerable scheme of …

This paper addresses conditions for the existence of additive separable utilities. It considers
mainly two-dimensional Cartesian products in which restricted solvability holds wrt one …

It is shown that restricted solvability need not be required to hold wrt every component for
deriving the existence of additive utilities: additive representations can be shown to exist …

Nonlinearity in the genotype-phenotype relationship can take the form of dominance,
epistasis, or gene-environment interaction. The importance of nonlinearity, especially …

Multiple Criteria Decision Aiding (MCDA) has been studied in a single decision maker
framework for a long time. Nowadays, the need to take into account several conflicting …
