Ordinal data in multicriteria decision making, a stochastic dominance approach to siting nuclear power plants

摘要: Abstract This paper addresses decision problems with ordinal data (weights, criterion scores). A random sampling approach is proposed to generate quantitative values which are consistent the underlying information. An attractive feature of that it applicable mixed (quantitative/ordinal) data. Another can be extended rankings degrees difference. The outcome a distribution performance scores. Stochastic dominance concepts arrive at final ranking alternatives. application these procedures given for location study nuclear power plants.
