“…A positive degree of contribution means that the use of a parameter produces the effect of elevating the output of MD whereas a negative degree of contribution means that the use of a parameter produces the effect of lowering the output of MD. Consequently, parameter 22 is positive degree of contribution whereas parameter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33, and 34 are negative degree of contribution. This research suggests that in order to obtain lower MD, the positive degree of contribution should be decreased while the negative degree of contribution should be increased.…”
