We examine the effect of an incomplete set of objectives using a Monte Carlo simulation to compare a baseline model to a reduced model incorporating only a subset of objectives. We assess the performance of reduced models varying in the number of objectives, the number of alternatives, the correlations among objectives, and attribute weights. Results suggest that missing objectives will most impact multiattribute models with negative correlations between objectives; similarly, models with equally weighted objectives suffer more than models with unequal weights. Decision problems with more objectives tend to be less impacted by missing objectives, given the same proportion of missing objectives. In contrast, decision problems with more alternatives are more impacted for some performance measures but less on others.

Though relatively rare worldwide, Alaska is home to the largest number of surge-type glaciers globally. However, their impact on the broader socioecological system in the state is both poorly understood and under-researched, which poses a challenge in developing appropriate sustainability decisions in Alaska. We investigated how the surge patterns of the Bering Glacier in Alaska have potentially devastating effects on the local ecological biodiversity of its watershed via a structured decision-making analysis of the different possible consequences. Specifically, this analysis was conducted to explore the various outcomes of a Bering Glacier surge particularly if humans have an increased presence near the glacier due to the area potentially becoming a state park. This work explored the benefits of applying a risk and decision analytical framework in a cryosphere context, to better understand the socioeconomic impact of glacier surges. This is a novel approach in which a decision analysis tool was used to better understand an environmental sustainability challenge, offering an innovative method to support the achievement of the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals in Alaska. We therefore emphasise the need for integrated biophysical and socioeconomic analyses when it comes to understanding glacier hazards. Our research highlights the importance of understanding and researching biophysical changes as well as using a structured decision-making process for complicated hazard planning scenarios, exemplified via glaciated regions in Alaska, in order to create adaptation strategies that are sustainable and encompass the range of possible outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"31 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mcda.1825","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper introduces an original benchmark-based framework designed to enhance the precision of consistency classification for pairwise comparison matrices (PCMs) within the AHP methodology. This innovative approach quantifies the discrepancy between a given PCM and its benchmark matrix, comprising comparison ratios that faithfully reflect the relative preferences encapsulated within principal eigenvector values, thereby capturing the true degree of coherence. To ensure benchmark alignment with human perception, elements of the benchmark PCM are further rounded to the nearest values on the Fundamental Scale. The potency of our framework derives from two pivotal factors: the inherent Priority Preference Range within the principal eigenvector and the order of the PCM. Statistical thresholds for consistency are established using a technique based on simulated, logical PCMs, proposed by Bose [2022]. This rigorous method ensures an unbiased, objective and pragmatic evaluation of consistency, eliminating the subjectivity inherent in arbitrary thresholds based on random PCMs. Our approach rectifies the inconsistencies in the conventional CR method that yields false positives for PCMs of orders 3 and 4, and false negatives for higher orders. By harnessing customized benchmarks and eschewing random matrices, our framework systematically confronts the inherent consistency challenges within AHP, thus enhancing its decision-making capability. The practical utility of our approach is aptly demonstrated through AHPtools, an R-based library package designed to showcase our novel consistency evaluation method. The demonstration of the package in Appendix B will facilitate readers to easily apply our methodology to real-world PCM classification scenarios within the AHP. In conclusion, our benchmark-based framework heralds a transformative era in consistency classification within the AHP, empowering real-world multi-criteria decision-making with unprecedented precision and reliability, and ushering in a new paradigm of informed and astute outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"31 1-2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44040984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
