  • A referential framework for systematization and applicability assessment of weight specification methods in multi-criteria decision-making [Elektronski vir]
    Bregar, Andrej, informatik
    Specification of criteria importance weights is one of key steps in the process of multi-criteria decision-making. The aim of the presented research is to provide a thorough survey of classic and ... state-of-the-art approaches to weight specification, and systematize them into a referential model. The defined model classifies methods into three groups corresponding to direct weight derivation, indirect weight derivation and readjustment of existing weights. These groups are further structured into ordinal and ratio based approaches, utility and bargaining related approaches, fuzzy averaging operators, dominance and optimality methods, regression techniques, structural modelling and interactive procedures. By utilizing a common evaluation framework, the characteristics of key types of weight specification methods are determined. The framework allows decision-makers to assess the suitability of different methods for various problem settings and to select the most appropriate ones for application. Criteria of the proposed framework include the complexity and credibility of analysis, problem abstraction, format of judgements and methodology type. Several use cases are described in the context of preference elicitation and aggregation. The efficiency of indirect weight derivation techniques is empirically studied with regard to the regression on correlations between preferential parameters and referential sets of alternatives. Regression results are evaluated with a simulation model.
