Abstract

Multi-attribute decision problems involve making the correct decision when there is a list of objectives to be optimized. We consider the case where a value function is specified over the attribute of the decision problem, as is typically done in the deterministic phase of a decision analysis. The preference relation between alternatives associated to the value function take into account the preference relation on each attribute and ”inter-attribute” relations. The main aim of this paper is to study this preference relation when the multivariate value function satisfies certain properties. In particular we consider supermodularity and Schur-increasingness properties.
