The MOORA method reflects the subjective part of the selection process by integrating the criteria weights to the computational procedure (Mandal and Sarkar 2012).
In this respect, a framework to integrate the criteria provided by quantitative environmental indicators has been proposed on the basis of Fuzzy Preference Programming method features and fuzzy logic reasoning.
In this sense, an ecodesign tool integrating the criteria provided by three environmental evaluation methodologies, namely Ecological Footprint (EF), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA), has been constructed on the basis of fuzzy logic reasoning and features.
The new methodology takes account of both quantitative and qualitative data, first aggregating the DMs' individual judgements on the performance of alternatives according to each criterion, and then integrating the criteria in order to determine the relative preference of any two alternatives.
Regarding the discussion to separate functional impairment and diagnoses [ 25], the good agreement for all negative diagnoses in this study underlines the importance of integrating the criteria of overall impairment and distress in assigning diagnoses.
There is a consensus on integrating the criterion of QoL in the decision, and disagreement centres on how it should be evaluated.
The methodology integrates the multiple-criteria method with the spatial correlation technique.
Comparing with standard regression approaches with regularization, the proposed framework integrates the information theoretic criteria in the generalized Lasso model, and sets the most informative features penalty-free to improve prediction accuracy and enhance model interpretability.
In the case of objectivity and to reduce conflicts of understanding regarding "internal" and "external" validity, the structure of the quality criteria may profit from more precision, i.e., by integrating the internal criteria into the first pair of external criteria.
As special conservation elements, we identified Priority Areas for Conservation of species using five criteria: species richness, geographic rarity, species vulnerability, a Combined Index of these three criteria, and a Standardised Biodiversity Index (SBI) that integrate the three criteria and four studied taxa.
