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. date: 2017 date_type: published publisher: Springer Verlag id_number: 10.1007/978-3-319-52624-9_2 creators_browse_id: 79 full_text_status: public series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing publication: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing volume: 274 place_of_pub: Germany pagerange: 16-27 refereed: TRUE issn: 1865-1348 book_title: Proceedings of GDN 2016 editors_name: Bajwa, D. coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Danielson, M. & Ekenberg, L.
