Single criterion vs. multi-criteria optimal stopping methods for portfolio management

A systematic review of the application of multi-criteria decision-making in evaluating Nationally Determined Contribution projects

“…Based on the literature, different methods have been used for selecting projects. The five most popular are single-criterion decision analysis [8], multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) [9,10], cost-benefit analysis (CBA) [11], SWOT techniques [12], data envelopment analysis (DEA) [13]. Although, in the literature MCDM is used synonymously with multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA), in this study MCDM will be used.…”

“…Decision-making techniques model complex preferences about projects, products, services, or anything that requires a choice to be made based on some criteria. The choice could be made on a single criterion, often called single-criterion decision analysis [8] or many criteria, called multi-criteria decision-making. In the latter case, it is possible the criteria on which to base judgments can be conflicting.…”

NPLP: An Improved Routing-Forwarding Strategy Utilizing Node Profile and Location Prediction for Opportunistic Networks

“…The complete data connectivity is obtained by the optimal stopping theory. Additionally, Liu et al [17] recommend other routing-forwarding algorithm that is known as FCNS (A fuzzy routing-forwarding algorithm exploiting comprehensive node similarity), where fuzzy inference logic is utilized to evaluate the transmission preference of the node and message carriers select a suitable relay node from its neighbors via the feedback mechanism [31]. Li et al [20] present a social-aware node mobile trajectory prediction algorithm for opportunistic networks, in which a 1-order Markov model [30] is adopted to update the mobile location of the nodes in the networks and the accuracy of the state prediction is enhanced by the state transition matrix from Markov model.…”
