The role of weights and scales in the application of multiobjective decision making (Q792874)

This role is clearly crucial. The main questions at stake here are: 1) How different techniques may yield different results when applied to the same problem, apparently under the same assumptions? 2) How different techniques use the weights (in such a way that the same weights may lead to different results)? Several methods are compared for a water resources example, namely compromise programming, cooperative game theory, multiattribute utility theory, ELECTRE.
