Multiple criteria choice in the attribute space of large dimension: multi-method technology PAKS-M

The paper describes the new multi-method technology for multiple criteria choice PAKS-M (Progressive Aggregation of Classified Situations by many Methods) The technology provides reducing a dimension of the attribute space, constructing several hierarchical systems of composite criteria and integral index of decision quality, which are aggregate initial attributes, ordering and/or classifying multi-attribute objects by using different combinations of several methods of decision making. The technology is based on expert knowledge and/or decision maker preferences, significantly reduces the time and complexity of solving the problems of multiple criteria choice, allows a decision maker to conduct a meaningful analysis of the obtained results. The developed technology has been applied in practice to multiple criteria selection of the advanced computing complex.
