Multiobjective Decision Analysis

This article provides a summary of multiobjective decision analysis methods and techniques. Multiobjective decision analysis is appropriate when we have complex alternatives, conflicting objectives, and significant uncertainty. Complexity and simplifications are discussed. A computational example analyzing an adversary threat scenario using multiobjective decision analysis with a decision tree is provided. Keywords: decision analysis; multiobjective decision analysis; value-focused thinking; influence diagram; decision tree
