## Abstract The construction of a multiattribute utility function is significantly simplified if it is possible to decompose the function into lowerβorder utility assessments. When every attribute is utility independent of its complement, we have a powerful property that reduces the functional form
Traditionally, parameters of multiattribute utility models, representing a decision maker's preference judgements, are treated deterministically. This may be unrealistic, because assessment of such parameters is potentially fraught with imprecisions and errors. We thus treat such parameters as stoch
