Parameter-Free Aggregation Of Value Functions From Multiple Experts And Uncertainty Assessment In Multi-Criteria Evaluation, Benjamin Rohrbach, Robert Weibel, Patrick Laube
Journal of Spatial Information Science
This paper makes a threefold contribution to spatial multi-criteria evaluation (MCE): firstly by presenting a new method concerning value functions, secondly by comparing different approaches to assess the uncertainty of a MCE outcome, and thirdly by presenting a case-study on land-use change. Even though MCE is a well-known methodology in GIScience, there is a lack of practicable approaches to incorporate the potentially diverse views of multiple experts in defining and standardizing the values used to implement input criteria. We propose a new method that allows generating and aggregating non-monotonic value functions, integrating the views of multiple experts. The new approach …
