Read.Utilities: Read utilities
In mau: Decision Models with Multi Attribute Utility Theory

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Builds utility functions from definition standard.

1	Read.Utilities(file, script, lines, skip = 2, encoding = "utf-8")

`file`	standardize file with definitions.
`script`	output script where the utility functions are defined automatically.
`lines`	number lines to read in `file`.
`skip`	to read the `file` it had to `skip` a given number of lines.
`encoding`	file encoding.

The basic MAUT models are built with functions of constant absolute risk aversion, this functions could be defined with simple parameters, only is necessary a function name and the domain of definition of every function and more important is necessary no more than three coefficients for the function definition.

Returns data table with definition of utility functions by range.
