Course Objective 決策行為是人們每天在做的活動。然而，除非至少有兩個準則存在，否則不需要做決策，也因此這類問題被稱為多準則決策問題（MCDP）。當替代方案已知時，最終的決定就會被做出，這種類型的問題被稱為多屬性決策問題（MADP）。當替代方案未知，我們必須在某些外部條件下找到它們時，問題被稱為多目標決策問題（MODP）。多準則決策分析（MCDA）是一個通用術語，包括兩類問題的技術，即多屬性決策分析（MADA）和多目標決策分析（MODA），其中目標規劃是它的特殊情況。在這門課程中，我們將介紹這些MCDA方法，從確定性到不確定性。 Making decisions is a daily activity for all of us. However, no decision making occurs unless at least TWO criteria are present, thus this type of problems is called Multi-Criteria Decision Problems (MCDP). When the alternatives are known, the final decision is made and such type of problems is called Multi-Attribute Decision Problems (MADP). When the alternatives are unknown and we have to find them under some external conditions, and the problems are called Multi-Objective Decision Problems (MODP). Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is a general term that consists of techniques for two types of problems with Multi-Attribute Decision Analysis (MADA) and Multi-Objective Decision Analysis (MODA) in which Goal Programming is its special case. In this course, we will introduce these MCDA methods from certain to uncertainty.
