An interactive procedure for selecting acceptable alternatives in the presence of multiple criteria

In: Naval research logistics: an international journal, Band 48, Heft 7, S. 592-606

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we consider the multiple criteria decision‐making problem of partitioning alternatives into acceptable and unacceptable sets. We develop interactive procedures for the cases when the underlying utility function of the decision maker is linear, quasiconcave, and general monotone. We present an application of the procedures to the problem of admitting students to the master's degree program at the Industrial Engineering Department, Middle East Technical University. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
