โฆ Synopsis
The construction of evaluation functions to compare alternatives in decision making under uncertainty is the central focus of this work. The importance of the decision makers' attitude with respect to their view of the temperament of uncertainty is stressed as a signiยฎcant component in the formulation of these functions. Evaluation functions are developed which allow for the inclusion of both probabilistic information as well as attitudinal predilections held by the decision maker.
