In this note, we provide an easy-to-understand introduction to strength-of-preference measures in the context of deterministic multiattribute value assessments, focusing on what they are and why they matter. Though these issues are well understood by some decision analysts, we believe that many do not understand or appreciate the role of strength-of-preference assumptions when assessing or interpreting multiattribute value functions. The note is structured around an argument between the two authors that took place when reviewing applications of multiattribute value functions.

关于（可测量的）多属性值函数：一个说明性论证

在本说明中，我们在确定性多属性价值评估的背景下对偏好强度测量进行了易于理解的介绍，重点介绍了它们是什么以及它们为何重要。尽管一些决策分析师很好地理解了这些问题，但我们相信许多人在评估或解释多属性价值函数时不理解或不理解偏好强度假设的作用。该注释围绕两位作者在审查多属性值函数的应用时发生的争论而构建。
