CRITIC Objective Weights in Spatial Decision-Making
Abstract:
<p>This poster presents an integration of CRITIC objective-based weights algorithm within a spatial multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA). Geospatial multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems typically involve a set of spatially feasible alternatives that are evaluated by multiple and conflicting evaluation criteria that vary in importance to the decision-maker(s). However, often in complex spatial decision-making problems the decision-maker(s) may not be able, or not willing, to provide cohesive and exact numerical judgments regarding the relative importances or weights of criteria. CRITIC object weighting scheme determines the weights for a set of criteria by quantifying the relatice importances of each criterion within the decision matrix.</p>
