The neurotransmitter dopamine has been found to play a crucial role in choice, learning,
and belief formation. The best-developed current theory of dopaminergic function is the …

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 …

It is common practice in psychology to devise “measurement” procedures by imposing rating
scales (eg, Likert items) onto phenomena and treating the values they produce as quantities …

We introduce a way of reasoning about preferences represented as pairwise comparative
statements, based on a very simple yet appealing principle: cancelling out common values …

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 presents four theorems that connect continuity postulates in mathematical
economics to solvability axioms in mathematical psychology, and ranks them under …

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 …
