Some of the issues may be remedied by connecting elicitation methods to an inference engine facilitating a quick and easy method for decision-makers to use weaker input statements, yet being able to utilize these statements in a method for decision evaluation. One important class of such methods ranks the criteria and converts the resulting ranking into numerical so called surrogate weights. We analyse the relevance of these methods and discuss how robust they are as candidates for modelling decision-makers and analysing multi-criteria decision problems under the perspectives of several stakeholders. publisher: Springer Verlag contributor: Bajwa, D. date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: text language: en rights: cc_by_nc identifier: https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/14219/1/GDN%202016%20conf.pdf identifier: Danielson, M. & Ekenberg, L.
