Abstract
This paper provides a general description of the following typical methods that are used in multicriteria decision-making to determine the values of the coefficients of importance of indicators that characterize a composite system: the analytic hierarchy process, the methods of critical distance, of pairwise comparison, and of rank, the Fishburn, the CRITIS, and the entropy methods. The features of these methods are determined and calculations are carried out that illustrate the differences in the values of the coefficients of importance of the obtained indicators with their use. The recommendations on the practical application of these methods are provided.
