This paper studies two models of rational behavior under uncertainty whose predictions are invariant under ordinal transformations of utility. The 'quantile utility' model assumes that the agent maximizes some quantile of the distribution of utility. The 'utility mass' model assumes maximization of
We focus on the problem of decision-making in the face of uncertainty. The issue of the representation of uncertain information is considered and a number of different frameworks are described: possibilistic, probabilistic, belief structures, and graded possibilistic. We suggest methodologies for de
By considering the decision maker's attitude of profit and risk, we propose an alternative selection method that can include the methods of decision making under ignorance and decision making under risk as special cases. An index to measure the decision maker's risk-averse degree is proposed. With a
