Tight upper bounds for the expected loss of the DEBA (Deterministic-Elimination-By-Aspects) lexicographic selection heuristic are obtained for the case of an additive separable utility function with unknown non-negative, non-increasing attribute weights for numbers of alternatives and attributes...

Several studies have reported high performance of simple decision heuristics multi-attribute decision making. In this paper, we focus on situations where attributes are binary and analyze the performance of Deterministic-Elimination-By-Aspects (DEBA) and similar decision heuristics. We consider...

An integrated model of vehicle transactions, activity scheduling and mode choice is estimated based on a retrospective vehicle transaction survey in the Toronto Area. First a conceptual framework is presented which links long run decisions of automobile transactions with short run decisions of...
