Applying prospect theory to multiattribute problems with independence assumptions

Jack Stanley and Frank P. A. Coolen

Vol. 12 (2019), No. 4, 687–711
DOI: 10.2140/involve.2019.12.687
Abstract

We discuss a descriptive theory of decision making which has received much attention in recent decades: prospect theory. We specifically focus on applying the theory to problems with two attributes, assisted by different independence assumptions. We discuss a process for solving decision problems using the theory before applying it to a real life example of purchasing breakdown cover.
