Cost-benefit analysis, benefit accounting and fuzzy decisions. (II). A hypothetical application to mental illness

The essay presents a computational example to illustrate the development of comprehensive benefit information by using the algorithms presented in part I of the above title Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1992) 275–287]. The area of application is a treatment regime for mental illness in a hypothetical community. The objective is to show how the theory and algorithms developed in part I can be used to assemble a comprehensive benefit information for cost-benefit analysis, benefit-risk analysis or benefit-effectiveness analysis.
