The attributes are represented as feature vectors and a multi-dimensional utility function, based on the Hamming distance, is used to perform the matching.
The procurement process of Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is studied for the multi-dimensional utility analysis with two parameters: quantity of interest and price per unit.
Once the overall attribute score for each attribute of a system is calculated in terms of the nine attributes (i.e., x1 through x9), for each of these, and in order to homogenize the scores, a utility function (u i ) needs to be introduced to convert the overall dimensional score of a system into a non-dimensional utility value of the system, which ranges between 0 and 1.
The game theoretical studies by von Neumann and Morgenstern (1980) is based on the representation of all outcomes of n-player games as payoff vectors such that points exist in an n-dimensional utility space [15].
Second, generic single-dimensional utility measures are required to compare the costs and benefits of different disease treatments [ 9].
To assess QoL, the generic SF-36 questionnaire was used, from which multidimensional quality-of-life scores and a one-dimensional score (utility) using the SF-6D scorings algorithm were derived.
Dimensional outcomes and utility indices of the EQ-5D will then be assessed using multivariate mixed models for a repeated-measures analysis.
Multi-dimensional preference-based utility scales enable cost-utility analyses that are currently the most useful method in economic evaluation of health care interventions.
The utility of dimensional personality assessment, however, is unclear in violent offenders with severe personality pathology.
This paper provides a characterization of Bayes Nash incentive compatible allocation rules in social choice settings where agents have multi-dimensional types, quasi-linear utility functions and interdependent valuations.
DNA has become a prime material for assembling complex three-dimensional objects that promise utility in various areas of application.
