The set of criteria may contain quantified criteria and non-quantified criteria.
For this purpose a classification of different indicator operationalization stages is proposed, ranging from vague qualitative criteria to fully quantified criteria.
Multiple criteria evaluation involves a set of quantifiable spatial criteria, their standardization functions, techniques for expressing preferences regarding the relative importance of the criteria, and aggregation rules combining quantified criterion preferences with standardized criterion values into an overall evaluation score.
A simple method was developed to predict and quantify the criteria for the importance of the axial heat conduction in the heat pipe's wall.
We used a binary and a continuous variable to quantify these criteria.
A Quality Matrix was designed to quantify three criteria of quality for the 12 types of evidence usually required by decisionmakers.
We urgently need new sustainable business models and labelling systems have an important role to play in promoting sustainable development in these mountain communities," says Luthe. "By quantifying different criteria such as energy use, transport and waste, labels can be used to communicate sustainability to a range of different markets and, crucially, encourage best practice in the sector".
The analysis of different construction types based on quantifying different criteria for passive houses was performed on a case study.
This paper presents an alternative approach at quantifying qualitative criteria and attributes that served relevant to the pedestrian decision-making process.
The quantified rainfall criteria for the hazard class of debris flow create difficulties for real-time management of debris-flow hazard on the national expressway, although it is desirable to apply the probability of the possible rainfall recurrence period (Choi et al. 2015).
