Description Usage Arguments References
The normalized logarithmic utility function is given by
U(oc) = log(1-alpha*x), if oc >= 0 and
U(oc) = -lambda/beta * log(1-alpha*x), if oc < 0.
U is the utility and oc is the objective consequence of a gamble outcome. lambda is the loss aversion coefficient. The Tversky & Kahneman (1992) assumption has also been made, namely
U(-oc) = -lambda * U(oc) where oc >= 0.
