Abstract

In many practical situations, users select between n alternatives a1,..., an, and the only information that we have about the utilities vi of these alternatives are bounds vi ≤ vi ≤ vi. In such situations, it is reasonable to assume that the values vi are independent and uniformly distributed on the corresponding intervals [vi, vi]. Under this assumption, we would like to estimate, for each i, the probability pi that the alternative ai will be selected. In this paper, we provide efficient algorithms for computing these probabilities.
