A comparison of weight approximation techniques in multiattribute utility decision making

摘要: Abstract The notion of “dominance” in multiattribute utility decision contexts leads to a change the considered alternative set. implications this set are discussed relation conditions Wainer's (1976) “equal-weights theorem,” and possibility sensitivity weighting importance dimensions is demonstrated. Data from three decision-making studies examined using four rank techniques as well equal weights order examine practical significance sensitivity. Correlations between measures overall produced by each technique suggest that results some improvement over weighting. This was not always, however, reflected significant changes decisions.
