The PD-Utility Function for Prospect Behavior and Related Researches

Based on Partial Distribution, we put forward a PD-utility function of prospect behavior for the first time, the profiting utility function and losing utility function. The PD-utility function can reflect sufficiently the human’s risk preferences properties to profiting or losing, describe and bring to light availably the important relations between profiting utility and losing utility, and interpret many conclusions in Daniel Kahneman’s prospect theory in analytic way.
