Description and Table of Contents
Description
Decision-aiding software helps in processing a set of goals to be achieved, alternatives available for achieving them, and relations between goals and alternatives in order to choose or explain the best alternative, combination, allocation, or predictive decision-rule. Such software with a spreadsheet base of columns corresponding to goals and rows corresponding to alternatives is usefully applied in this book to government, personal decisions, law, teaching, decision-analysis research, cross-national decision-making, business and politics.
