The curve shows how the utility function converts any level in the<br />

measure's nominal units to a utility.<br />

For measures that use labels, LDW also lets you display the SUF<br />

as a histogram similar to that used in the direct assessment<br />

method. Just click “Yes” to the question LDW asks when you<br />

select this option.<br />

Computing Utilities From Measure Levels<br />

The Review::Compute Utilities option lets you compute utilities<br />

for a measure based on its SUF in the active preference set. You<br />

can also use the option to compute the measure level on the<br />

measure that would result in a particular utility.<br />

When you select this option you will see the dialog box in Figure<br />

8-2.<br />

Figure 8-2. Dialog box for Review::Compute Utilities option.<br />

To select the active measure, just choose it from the combo box at<br />

the top of the dialog box. To compute the utility for a level on the<br />

active measure, just enter a level in the edit box labeled "Level:".<br />
