Edwards, Guttentag, and Snapper's, (1975) multi-attribute utilities model is applied to a decision making problem in a military training analysis situation. Multi-attribute utilities is a Bayesian-oriented decision making paradigm. Results of the application are presented and the model is compared to a second simple judgment analysis model using the same input data. Aspects of the multi-attribute utilities approach are discussed.
