To determine the validity of the best worst scaling and willingness to pay method, the resulting relative importance scores of the attributes from both analyses are compared with the rating scores of attributes by means of Pearson correlation coefficients.
The attributes of any chosen alternative (i = 1, 2,...n) have to be compared with the attributes of IBA and the loss for not being the best for each attribute has to be calculated.
Based on the case study of a local municipality in Metropolitan Melbourne, Australia, the modelled uptake of stormwater treatment systems was compared with attributes of real-world systems for the simulation period.
A good example for interactive knowledge discovery is the work by Mueller et al. [9] where. in the data-mapping phase, which is done by a biomedical expert, the data attributes of the meta-information are compared with the visual capabilities of the graphical elements in order to give a feedback to the user about the correctness of the variable mapping.
Its attributes and implications for intervention are compared with those of other major conceptual frameworks for understanding cancer: the clonal diversification model, the stem cell theory and the hallmarks of cancer.
To calculate the loss caused by each attribute, the attributes of the chosen alternative are to be compared with those of IBA.
The impact of filler lubricant particle size ratio variation (3.4 41.6) on the attributes of an immediate-release tablet was compared with the impacts of the manufacturing method used (direct compression or dry granulation) and drug loading (1%, 5%, and 25%), particle size (D[4,3]: 8–114 μm), and drug type (theophylline or ibuprofen).
The results are compared with the single attribute results of Chu and Hayya (1991) [27].
In order to evaluate this work, the results of applying these metrics and classification rules have been compared with the quality attribute of performance in several MAS.
