Description

This study estimated distributions of parameters that caused dominant preferences regarding human risk reductions in a choice experiment of selecting future electricity sources. A statistical analysis supported the idea that those parameters were continuously distributed over a wide range of positive real numbers in comparison to the idea of assuming two distinct groups either with a dominant preference or a normal preference.
