Criteria-Based Decision Analysis
This app implements a decision matrix, or weighted scoring model, by accepting a list of your criteria, and then the various options from which to choose the optimal.
This method, based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process, consists of pairwise evaluations of criteria to generate weighting factors.
STEPS:
- Enter all criteria, using [Return] key or [+] to add another
- When finished entering all criteria, press the [Return] key or [I'm Done!!! Go compute (see results above)] button
- Use the slider bars to compare pairs of criteria
- The initial slider value indicates equal weights for the 2 criteria
- Slide the dot to the right if the criterion on the right is more important than the one on the left
- Slide the dot to the left if the criterion on the left is more important than the one on the right
- After setting or adjusting all the sliders, press the [I'm Done!!! Go compute (see results above)] button
- Enter all options by pressing the [Add Option] button, and enter criteria values for the option
- For each criterion, select the method to normalize the option values from the drop-down
- To Maximum (default): Divides all values for that criterion by the maximum
- To Max and Min: Map the values to a straight line where min is 1 and max is 10
- Use Entered Values Use values as they have been entered
- Logarithm Function: Map the lowest value to 1 and highest to 10, fitting a log curve between
