Are Part Wise Comparisons Reliable?

چکیده
It is not unusual for decisions in engineering or customer surveys to compare pairs or subsets of alternatives. Surprisingly, this standard, natural approach can cause valued information to be lost: a loss so severe that it can cause demonstrably incorrect decisions. By understanding why these errors occur, we identify an alternative, closely related decision approach that eliminates these problems. Also, we identify the nature of the lost information, and we show how to compute the likelihood that an incorrect outcome will occur.

Pair-wise comparisons of multiple models
Often research in judgment and decision making requires comparison of multiple competing models. Researchers invoke global measures such as the rate of correct predictions or the sum of squared (or absolute) deviations of the various models as part of this evaluation process. Reliance on such measures hides the (often very high) level of agreement between the predictions of the various models a...
متن کاملApplication of “Sink & Source” and “Stream wise” Methods for Exergy Analysis of Two MED Desalination Systems
Utilization of fossil fuel for supplying of requires energy of desalination systems is common. On the other hand, solar energy is one of the high-grade energies in the world that can be found specifically in hot weather places. Therefore, utilization of solar energy for operation of desalination systems will reduce greenhouse gases and is a good alternative way. Common exergy analysis method (s...

The selection of proper bridge sites across a river depends on many factors such as economic, transportation and geomorphology. In this paper, the best sites for bridge building are identified in a case study by using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy logic in GIS environment. First, the river is divided into a number of segments based on the similar characteristics, each of which ...
