ABSTRACT
Summary
After the problem has been formulated and both the alternatives and the criteria that will be used to judge them have been selected, the next step is to flesh out the relationships by quantifying the performance of the alternatives and the relative importance of the criteria. There are different ways to elicit weights and to assign scores, some of which are tailored to specific Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodologies. A variety of these methods will be discussed here. We begin by discussing the weighting of criteria and follow with each alternative’s scoring.
