Analysis of a Non-Discriminating Criterion in Simple Additive Weighting Deep Hierarchy

In the current account, we present an analysis of a non-discriminating criterion under simple additive weighting synthesis, considering deep decision hierarchy. A describes where all alternatives consideration perform equally. We question eliminating such from hierarchy in search simpler problem representation and computational efficiency. Yet, prove approach may result order misrepresentations between alternatives. This is performed form four research questions that relate to detection certain conditions which distortions integrity will occur, calculating change their final performances, distinguishing whose performances are consistent, examining role normalization procedure adopted averting when ignored. Along these lines, this study provides clear inferences interest researchers makers, using similar methods rely on synthesis.
