Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis
Welcome to the hub for research on Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). MCDA is a decision-making framework used to evaluate and compare multiple options based on a set of criteria. It has applications in various fields such as engineering, finance, healthcare, and environmental management. This web page serves as a resource for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in MCDA. Here, you will find a collection of articles, books, software tools, and other resources related to MCDA. Whether you are new to MCDA or an experienced practitioner, this page aims to provide you with the information and tools needed to apply MCDA in your research and practice.
Particlar focus is placed on the use of pairwise comparisons and methods such as Saaty's Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assist decision-makers in evaluating and prioritizing complex, multi-criteria problems. Pairwise comparison-based methods are used to evaluate and prioritize different options or alternatives based on multiple criteria. These methods involve comparing each option with every other option to determine their relative importance or preference. Pairwise comparison-based methods are often used in decision-making processes where there are complex, multi-criteria problems that require careful evaluation and analysis.
This site has been created as part of a research project entitled “Safety of decision-making methods based on pairwise comparisons” (NCN Project 2021/41/B/HS4/03475).
