How to support the application of multiple criteria decision analysis? Let us start with a comprehensive taxonomy (2020, background): “Also, the use of weights as trade-offs (“gain with respect to one variable allowing to compensate the loss with respect to another” [127]) implies a direct link with the measurement scale.”
Creating composite indicators with DEA and robustness analysis: the case of the Technology Achievement Index (2008, unknown): “A further incentive to use the TAI is that it was extensively studied in the JRC-OECD Handbook on Constructing Composite Indicators (Nardo et al, 2005a,b).”
An overview of sustainability assessment methodologies (2009, methodology): “…are multiple linear regression models, principal components analysis, and factor analysis, cronbach alpha, neutralization of correlation effect, efficiency frontier, distance to targets, experts opinion (budget allocation), public opinion, and analytic hierarchy process (Nardo et al., 2005).”
Social vulnerability to floods: Review of case studies and implications for measurement (2015, background): “For an in-depth discussion on participatory methods see [72] and [73].”
Measuring the Immeasurable: A Survey of Sustainability Indices (2007, background): “Similar to normalization, weighting poses a genuine problem as it ostensibly aims at the comparability of variables even though these are obviously not comparable (Nardo et al., 2005, pp. 44 et sqq.).”
Setting weights in multidimensional indices of well-being (2008, methodology): “4Many international institutions are active in using and promoting the use of composite indicators - see Nardo et al. (2005, 2005) for a survey of some alternative composite indicators.”
