A simulation approach to investigate factors influencing the cost of omitted objectives in multiattribute models Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Pub Date : 2024-01-17 Sarah A. Kusumastuti, Richard S. John
Empirical evidence suggests that decision-makers are ill-equipped to identify all relevant objectives in a decision problem. We examine the effect of an incomplete set of objectives using a Monte Carlo simulation to compare a baseline model to a reduced model incorporating only a subset of objectives. We assess the performance of reduced models varying in the number of objectives, the number of alternatives

Application of a structured decision-making process in cryospheric hazard planning: Case study of Bering Glacier surges on local state planning in Alaska Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Pub Date : 2023-11-28 Dina Abdel-Fattah, Mats Danielson, Love Ekenberg, Regine Hock, Sarah Trainor
Surging glaciers are glaciers that experience rapidly accelerated glacier flow over a comparatively short period of time. Though relatively rare worldwide, Alaska is home to the largest number of surge-type glaciers globally. However, their impact on the broader socioecological system in the state is both poorly understood and under-researched, which poses a challenge in developing appropriate sustainability

Mean values as nondominated multicriterial points Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Pub Date : 2023-11-13 Vladislav V. Podinovski, Andrey P. Nelyubin
In this paper, we introduce new notions of mean values based on ideas of multicriteria optimization. The distances between the current point to all points in the sample are regarded as elements of a vector estimate. Such vector estimates are usually scalarized, for example, by taking the sum of all components. In contrast, we introduce preference relations on the set of all such vectors, based on the

How do people aggregate value? An experiment with relative importance of criteria and relative goodness of alternatives as inputs Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Pub Date : 2021-11-17 Ulla Ahonen-Jonnarth, Hanna Andersson, Fredrik Bökman
The concept of importance of criteria is used as a central element in several decision making contexts, specifically in value aggregation, e.g. as an input to decision support tools. For example, in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) decision makers are asked to estimate how much more important one criterion is than another. However, it is not clear how people understand aggregation models based

A disaggregation approach for indirect preference elicitation in Electre TRI-nC: Application and validation Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Pub Date : 2021-01-05 Parisa Madhooshiarzanagh, Irène Abi-Zeid
Multicriteria sorting methods are often used in decision aiding contexts where the objective is to assign alternatives to predefined ordered categories. The Electre Tri family of sorting methods is based on pairwise comparisons of the alternatives with some, possibly fictional, alternatives that are either upper or lower limits of the categories (Electre Tri-B), or one or more typical reference alternatives
