A comparison of multiattribute decision-making techniques using an iterative procedure to derive a convergent criterion

The objectives of the dissertation are to: (1) deductively compare five commonly used multiattribute decision making techniques and clarify the meanings of weights and (2) empirically evaluate the effectiveness of the techniques. The five techniques are multiattribute utility theory (MAUT), weighting and rating (WR), the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), concordance analysis (CA), and computation of equivalent alternatives (CEA).
