Abstract
Decision problems often exhibit these characteristics: the presence of multiple, conflicting criteria for judging alternatives and the need for making compromises of trade-offs regarding the outcomes of alternative courses of action. This chapter covers some of the practical methods available for helping make better decisions for these types of problems.
