Abstract: The assessment of multiattribute cardinal utility functions can be a difficult experimental problem. To aid in this assessment, we define the concept of parametric dependence of preferences for multiattributed consequences. We show the usefulness of this concept for the assessment of multiattribute utility functions by proving several representation theorems that simplify the assessment problem when parametric dependence holds.
