....ask for numerical inputs that do not involve choices between pairs of consequences. In this regard, direct methods have a weaker theoretical foundation, yet they have found extensive use in applications because they are often easier to apply. Von Winterfeldt and Edwards [42] Yu [48] and Kirkwood [23], among others, present surveys of major assessment techniques. A fundamental requirement in preference elicitation is that the numerical estimates requested from the DM should not depend on the particular representation (1) that has been chosen [12] An important consequence of this is that DM ....

....upon a decision analysis framework [12] This section describes how the criteria specified above are incorporated into the selected strategic decision making technique. The strategic decision making technique selected for the problem of methodology selection is Multiobjective Decision Analysis [9]. Multiobjective Decision Analysis was selected as the underlying framework because (1) of its ability to handle multiple criteria, 2) it is based on a mathematical framework, 3) it is a flexible technique, and (4) it is a mature technique. 9 4.1 The Decision Analysis Tool The first step in ....
....normalized weight remains 1, the other considerations (those not currently being analyzed) are adjusted to be proportional to the total weight minus the weight of the consideration being analyzed. We consider the final decision sensitive if a small change to the weight a change of 5 to 7 [9] produces a change in the final decision. We consider a recommendation is definitive when the percentage of sensitive considerations is less than 33 [9] Detecting sensitivity relies on the identification of critical points. A critical point is where the weight for the particular ....

....policies, such as Stop Loss, are not considered in the current model. Since PICAS is a proof of concept of CAS simulation for personnel analysis, some key assumptions must be clarified. We model pilot preferences using utility curves, a common technique in decision analysis (see Clemen 1996 and Kirkwood 1997). Our environmental factor choices are based on what seemed reasonable and what made model use as intuitive as possible. The scales and ranges employed on all slider bars are notional, meant merely to exercise the model. 4 SIMULATION MODEL DEVELOPMENT IN JAVA The Java language was used to ....
