论文摘要
我们介绍了一种解释各种线性和分层多标准决策（MCDM）技术（例如WSM和AHP）的结果的方法。这两个关键思想是（a）维持这些技术操纵的值的细粒度表示，以及（b）通过合并，过滤和汇总操作从这些表示形式中得出解释。我们模型中的一种解释对MCDM问题中的两种替代方案进行了高级比较，大概是最佳和非最佳选择，这阐明了为什么一种选择比另一个选择更优于另一个替代方案。我们通过为MCDM文献中的两个众所周知的示例产生解释来展示我们的技术的有用性。最后，我们通过执行计算实验来显示它们的功效。
We introduce a method for explaining the results of various linear and hierarchical multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques such as WSM and AHP. The two key ideas are (A) to maintain a fine-grained representation of the values manipulated by these techniques and (B) to derive explanations from these representations through merging, filtering, and aggregating operations. An explanation in our model presents a high-level comparison of two alternatives in an MCDM problem, presumably an optimal and a non-optimal one, illuminating why one alternative was preferred over the other one. We show the usefulness of our techniques by generating explanations for two well-known examples from the MCDM literature. Finally, we show their efficacy by performing computational experiments.
