Even though the literature provides the analyst with precious sorting-based MADM tools such as PROMSORT, UTADIS, AHPSort, TOPSISsort, and so forth, the majority of the methods can be found complex and hard to be understood by the researchers and practitioners who are not familiar with the mathematical notions and computations of MADM (distance calculation, threshold and preference function determination, and so on). To provide a simpler but powerful MADM tool aiming at sorting the alternatives into classes, this study proposes a sorting-based additive ratio assessment algorithm which is called ARASsort. For limiting (interval-based) and central (reference-based) profiles describing the categories, we have developed two algorithms: ARASsort-lp and ARASsort-cp, respectively. Their applicability was shown in two examples: green supplier evaluation and economic freedom evaluation of countries. The validity of algorithms was presented by demonstrating the class assignment similarities between the results obtained by ARASsort, VIKORsort, and TOPSISsort. The findings show that ARASsort works well because it shows a higher level of class assignment similarities with the other methods.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"30 3-4","pages":"93-108"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45228101","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}

The multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach is appropriate to handle the numerous conflicting criteria and numerous multiple objectives. First, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to build a non-linear correlation between the cooking process parameters and NQI by an automatic exhaustive search of all available algorithms and activation functions. All the NQI are conflicting in nature. Therefore, the ANN-based multi-objective genetic algorithm was implemented to obtain the Pareto optimal solutions to improve all NQI simultaneously. Five optimised conditions were selected amongst the Pareto optimal solutions, satisfying the above-mentioned multiple criteria. Finally, a well-known MCDM approach, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), was applied for sensory analysis to evaluate the overall acceptance of the optimised conditions based on the relative importance of consumers' general sensory modalities (flavour, colour & appearance, and taste). Furthermore, the following condition (140.01°C, 7.62 min, 47.87 ml oil/kg of fish) was selected as the most accepted in terms of all quality attributes that may be implemented as the standard condition in domestic and industrial purposes.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"30 1-2","pages":"44-61"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46857598","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}

First, this paper deals with finding for each of the players a preferred subset of such rationalizable strategies based on a-priori incorporation of partial preferences of the decision-makers using secondary criteria. The obtained subset is termed the Set of Preferred Strategies (SPS). Here, a novel archive-based co-evolutionary algorithm is suggested to search for the SPS for each of the players. An academic example is suggested to demonstrate and validate the algorithm. It concerns a zsMOG that involves two adversarial planar manipulators. Based on a theorem that is proven here, a theoretic reference SRS is found for each of the players. This reference SRS is applied to find a reference SPS, which is used for validating the algorithm. Next, a comparison study is performed between the proposed archive-based co-evolutionary algorithm and an elite-based version of this algorithm. The results clearly show that the archive-based algorithm is superior to the elite-based version, yielding results that correspond well to the theoretic sets.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"30 1-2","pages":"3-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/mcda.1797","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41838791","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}

The proposed consistency evaluation method makes use of statistically significant deviations from the average consistency measure for the simulated matrices. This addresses most of the deficiencies of the conventional consistency ratio (CR) method. A pairwise comparison matrix (PCM) is adjudged inconsistent by the proposed method if its consistency measure exceeds the modeled consistency threshold. Comparison of the consistency evaluation for simulated nearly-consistent matrices using the proposed method shows a statistically significant reduction of the order-specific bias in comparison with the CR method. The proportion of nearly consistent matrices which are evaluated as ‘inconsistent’ increases more than three-folds when the evaluation is done using the CR method. Several examples are presented which illustrate the advantages of the proposed method and differences in classification with the CR approach. Evaluation of consistency using the proposed method of statistically derived thresholds from simulated, nearly consistent matrices is more nuanced and objective, as well as intuitive in its interpretability.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"29 5-6","pages":"393-401"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49137007","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}

First, we identified the main goals used by farmers through in-depth interviews with randomly selected farmers in which we used small games to elicit the main goals they are using to make farm-level decisions. Then, we developed a best–worst scaling (BWS) experiment, in which farmers have to declare the “most” and the least “important” goals they use when making decisions. The experiment was conducted with 120 farmers. We first derive a ranking of the goals according to the population average, which showed the importance of rice self-sufficiency and transmission of farm capital. We then use a scale-adjusted latent class analysis. We identified four groups of homogenous preferences among farmers. The use of differentiated scale, a measure of choice inconsistencies, suggested different levels of certainty about the ranking, and the presence of more inconsistencies when asking the least important goal. While a large group focuses only on rice self-sufficiency, and farm transmission, we also identified a group of optimizers, and risk-averse farmers. Farmers of each group are likely to behave differently with regard to sustainable innovations. We also showed that some socio-economic variables describing the farms and the households influenced the probabilities for farmers to belong to one of the four classes. Overall, we showed that BWS scaling experiments provide a rich set of information about the diversity of rankings. It also provides the set of tools to evaluate the consistency and quality of respondents' choices.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"29 5-6","pages":"402-415"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42095630","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}

While MCDA has been widely used to combine vulnerability indicators into an aggregated vulnerability score, the sensitivity of vulnerability indices to uncertain appraisals and judgements of the magnitudes and weights of indicators has been largely ignored so far. In this work, based on vulnerability indicators previously selected and ranked using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique, for household Brazil surveys carried out in 1998 and 2012, a sensitivity analysis (SA) was implemented to account for the variation of vulnerability indicators over time and space. In particular, two techniques were applied: the indicator removal and the threshold value tests. The indicator removal test involved setting to zero a particular indicator weight and rescaling the remaining indicator weights linearly. The threshold value test aimed to identify which indicators had the most relative influence on both indices. Finally, the critical threshold value showed the most important vulnerability indicators and allowed to summarise and contrast the standardized scores differences of the indicators between the two surveys. The results showed which indicators were the most important in increasing or decreasing the vulnerability and improved the understanding of how the overall vulnerability of rainfed farming households changed through time as a function of changes in sensitivity and adaptive capacity.","PeriodicalId":45876,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis","volume":"29 5-6","pages":"381-392"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49066500","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}
