Multi-Criteria Analysis
From SEA.unu.edu/wiki
Multi-criteria analyses use scoring and weighting systems based on criteria to test and compare alternatives. The table below shows a variety of different scoring systems, using noise as the criterion (Lee, 1987):
| scoring method | Basis of score | ||||
| A | B | C | D | ||
| absolute | 65 | 62 | 71 | 75 | Measured L10dBA levels |
| interval | 0 | -3 | 6 | 10 | Difference in L10dBA levels using alternative A as a base |
| ordinal | B | A | C | D | Ranking according to ascending L10dBA levels |
| binary | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 = less than 70 L10dBA; 1 = more than 70 L10dBA |
