Comparison of Fuzzy-AHP and AHP in a spatial multi-criteria decision making model for urban land-use planning (2015, neutral): “In the 1960s, the first Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques emerged to alleviate difficulties in accommodating diverse opinions and handling large amounts of complex information in the decision-making process (Zopounidis & Doumpos, 2002, Zopounidis and Pardalos, 2010).”
State of art surveys of overviews on MCDM/MADM methods (2014, background): “Zopounidis and Doumpos (2002) conducted a review on a multi-criteria classification and sorting.”
Methodi Ordinatio: a proposed methodology to select and rank relevant scientific papers encompassing the impact factor, number of citation, and year of publication (2015, background): “…rule is composed of a condition part specifying a partial profile on a subset of criteria to which an alternative is compared using the dominance relation, and a decision part suggesting an assignment of the alternative to 'at least' or 'at most' a given class (Zopounidis and Doumpos 2002).”
ELECTRE: A comprehensive literature review on methodologies and applications (2016, methodology): “…a general review of MCDA or outranking methods, e.g. Roy (1991) and Roy and Vincke (1981), a general review of a spe-ciﬁc range of MCDA methods, e.g. Zopounidis and Doumpos (2002b) or a review of decision aiding within a speciﬁc application area, e.g. Lahdelma, Salminen, and Hokkanen (2000) and…”
An Extension of the Electre I Method for Group Decision-Making Under a Fuzzy Environment (2011, methodology): “The outranking relation is the most widely used criteria aggregation method in the MCDA context [10].”
Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods in economics: an overview (2011, background): “MCDM is an advanced field of OR; it provides decision makers and analysts with a wide range of methodologies, which are overviewed and well-suited to the complexity of economical decision problems (Hwang and Yoon 1981; Zopounidis and Doumpos 2002; Figueira et al. 2005).”
Are MCDA Methods Benchmarkable? A Comparative Study of TOPSIS, VIKOR, COPRAS, and PROMETHEE II Methods (2020, background): “The concept of rational decisions is, at the same time, a paradigm of multi-criteria decision support and is the basis of the whole family of Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis (MCDA) methods [8].”
Supervised classification and mathematical optimization (2013, neutral): “…Optimization [9] [13] [51] [128] [160] [245], Linear Programming [94] [158] [205] Mixed-Integer Programming [25] [39] [50] [77] [220] [228], Nonsmooth Optimization [7] [13] [44] [51] [222] [223], Multicriteria and Multi-Objective Programming [68] [93] [181] [248] and Robust Optimization [224].”
