Uncertainty and Preference Modelling for Multiple Criteria Vehicle Evaluation

Uncertainty and Preference Modelling for Multiple Criteria Vehicle Evaluation

A general framework for vehicle assessment is proposed based on both mass survey information and the evidential reasoning (ER) approach. Several methods for uncertainty and preference modeling are developed within the framework, including the measurement of uncertainty caused by missing information, the estimation of missing information in original surveys, the use of nonlinear functions for da...

Modelling inaccurate determination, uncertainty, imprecision using multiple criteria

The purpose of this paper is to study how the consideration of several criteria, as opposed to a more traditional mono-criterion approach, helps the modelling of imprecision, uncertainty and inaccurate determination (I.U.I.D.) in a decision-aid study. After a brief review of the main sources of inaccurate determination, uncertainty and imprecision that arises in a decision-aid situation, we sho...

Spatial Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis for Multiple Criteria Land Suitability Evaluation

Development of Software for Multiple Criteria Evaluation

This paper considers the main positions of one-sided and two-sided problems. For onesided problems only the method of solution “the distance to the ideal point” is discussed in the actual version. For two-sided problems a distinction is made between games with rational behaviour and games against nature. The main strategic principles are as follows: simple min-max principle, extended min-max pr...

Music Video Viewers' Preference Evaluation Criteria and Their Characteristics

This study investigated music video viewers’ characteristics and their preference evaluation criteria. We had detailed interviews based on the evaluation grid method with ten participants. All participants watch music videos frequently. Our participants could be divided into following two types: (1) Singer-based type viewers: they emphasized the importance of the singer(s) singing the song in t...
