Approximations of Multiattribute Utility Functions.
Abstract
This report extends previously developed approximation theory for two-attribute cardinal utility functions to utility functions defined on three or more attributes. If focuses on the simple additive and multiplicative approximations along with several other elementary forms. The purpose of the report is to assess how well simple approximations can describe more complex utility functions on multiattribute outcome spaces. (Author)
