Abstract
Throughout the following paper an empirical investigation will be presented which compares several methods for multi-attribute-decision-making. As methods we considered the direct-midpoint-technique, the HOPIE-method and a method based on the ideal-point concept. Assuming certain decision situations - like determining the best alternative — we compared the results derived from the methods with one another as well as with the decision-maker’s direct preference.
