DEXi Sample Clauses

DEXi. DEXi [7] is a language for the development of qualitative multi-criteria decision models and the evaluation of options. Multi-criteria (also called multi-attribute) models are a class of models used in Decision Analysis that evaluate options according to several, possibly conflicting, goals or objectives. In this section, we provide a brief overview of the DEXi language, for a detailed description we refer to the DEXi User’s Manual [2] and to D3.3 for details on the DEXi tool. The following presentation is to a large degree based on the DEXi User's Manual. A multi-attribute model decomposes a decision problem into a tree structure where each node consists of sub-problems, which are smaller and less complex than the overall problem. DEXi models consists of:  attributes, organized into a tree structure;  utility functions Attributes are organized hierarchically into a tree, which can have one or more root attributes. According to their position in the tree, the attributes are either:  Basic attributes: terminal nodes (“leaves”) of the tree;  or aggregate attributes: intermediate nodes in the tree, which can be decomposed into one or more descendant attributes appearing one level below the “parent” aggregate attribute in the tree. Basic attributes are the inputs of the multi-attribute model. The values of the basic attributes are the possible options which the decision maker can select. The set of values which an attribute can take is called the scale of the attribute. In qualitative models, attributes are qualitative: scales are characterized by a finite set of symbolic values, typically consisting of words rather than numbers; this is different from "quantitative" decision models, which are characterized by continuous numerical scales or preferences. Examples of qualitative scales are:  no, yes  low, medium, high (e.g., for a "Quality" attribute)  high, medium, low (e.g., for a "Price" attribute)  unacceptable, acceptable, good, excellent Aggregate attributes represent option evaluations: such evaluations are carried out by means of decision rules called utility functions. For a given aggregate attribute A (with scale SA) having n descendants D1, …, Dn (with scales SD1, …, SDn), the utility function of A maps each combination of values of the descendants into a value for A. The utility function of A is therefore a function from the product set of SD1, …, SDn into SA: f: SD1 x SD2 x … x SDn → SA. In qualitative models, utility functions are tables of...
