Elementary Methods Dominance Relation (choice) Even-Swap (choice, trade-off, practical dominance) Lexicographic (ranking, noncompensatory) Elimination by Aspects (choice, noncompensatory) Maximax (choice, noncompensatory) Maximin (choice, noncompensatory) Conjunctive (classification, noncompensatory) Disjunctive (classification, noncompensatory) Median Ranking (ranking, aggregation)

Dominance Relation Dominance of a over b translates a sort of agreement for all points of view in favor of a: v j (a)>v j (b) where at least one of the inequalities is strict One alternative dominates another if the first alternative is at least as good as the second w.r.t. every attribute and strictly better w.r.t. at least one of them. Alternatives that are not dominated by any other alternatives are called as non-dominated, dominant, or efficient alternatives (Pareto optimal or efficient frontier)

A textile manufacturing company wants to open a new plant. The plant requires abundant water and manpower. 7 sites are judged by the following attributes: Community attitude toward new plant (a1) Water availability (a2) Probability of a union within the next two years (a3) s2 s7s6 s1 s5s4 s3 Example for Dominance

Decision Matrix for “Buying a New Car” Problem

Even-Swap Method (Hammond et al., 1999) 1.Dominated or practically dominated alternatives are eliminated 2.To cancel out an attribute or an alternative, the necessary change is determined. To compensate for this needed change, the change in another attribute is assessed 3.Even swap is made. An even swap increases the value of an alternative in terms of one attribute while decreasing its value by an equivalent amount in terms of another attribute (trade-off) 4.The now-irrelevant attribute is cancelled out or (practically) dominated alternative is eliminated 5.If choice can not be made, go to 2 nd step

Practical Dominance One alternative practically dominates another if the performance of the first alternative is strictly better than that of second w.r.t. at least one of the attributes, the performance of the first alternative is at least as good as that of second w.r.t. all remaining attributes but one, and the performance of the second alternative is only “slightly” better than that of first w.r.t. this excluding attribute

Example for Even-Swap 20 m.u. indifference threshold

Lexicographic Method Uses the most important attribute to evaluate and rank the alternatives from best (most preferred) to worst. If there is a tie for some of the alternatives (performance values of alternatives are equal), use the second important attribute for these alternatives... Price: a7 – a4, a5, a6 – a2, a3 – a1 Comfort: a4, a5 – a6; a2 – a3 Perf.: a4 – a5 Design: a5 – a4 Result: a7 – a4, a5 – a6 – a2 – a3 – a1

Elimination by Aspects Method Eliminates alternatives that do not satisfy some standard, and it continues until all alternatives except one have been eliminated. Less than or equal to 300 m.u., Excellent comfort, excellent performance Price: all alternatives satisfy Comfort: a1–a2 satisfy Performance: a1 satisfies Result: a1 is recommended

Maximax Method Optimistic attitude Selects the maximum (across alternatives) of the maximum (across attributes) normalized performance values, which is called “the best of the best"

Maximin Method Pessimistic attitude Selects the maximum (across alternatives) of the minimum (across attributes) normalized performance values, which is called “the best of the worst"

Conjunctive Method An alternative is accepted if each dimension meets a set of preset standards or thresholds. If at least one dimension doesn’t meet the set, it is unacceptable. “a i is acceptable if x i1 and x i2 …,and x ik is acceptable" for the k attributes 250 m.u. or cheaper, excellent comfort, excellent perf., and superior design: All alternatives are unacceptable 250 m.u. or cheaper, average comfort, average perf., and ordinary design: a2, a3, a4, and a5 are acceptable

Disjunctive Method An alternative is accepted if it scores sufficiently high on at least one dimension. If no dimension meets a set of preset standards, it is unacceptable. “a i is acceptable if x i1 or x i2 …,or x ik is sufficiently high" for the k attributes 250 m.u. or cheaper, excellent comfort, excellent perf., or superior design: All alternatives are acceptable

Median Ranking Method Adds all attributewise ranks (ranks from each attribute) and ranks them in ascending order. If there is a tie for some alternatives the median value of the ranks of them is used.
