The two preference flows induce two generally different complete rankings on the set of actions. The first one is obtained by ranking the actions according to the decreasing values of their positive flow scores. The second one is obtained by ranking the actions according to the increasing values of their negative flow scores.

In this example a company should prefer product B's risk and payoffs under realistic risk preference coefficients. Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) or multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a sub-discipline of operations research that explicitly evaluates multiple conflicting criteria in decision making (both in daily life and in settings such as business, government and medicine).
In recent years, the OPA method was proposed to solve the multi-criteria decision-making problems based on the ordinal data instead of using the pairwise comparison matrix. [4] The OPA method is a major part of Dr. Amin Mahmoudi's PhD thesis from the Southeast University of China.
An important example of this approach is the use of the potentially all pairwise rankings of all possible alternatives (PAPRIKA) method [4] to create models for classifying patients according to the extent to which they have a disease or not – e.g. Sjögren syndrome, [5] gout, [6] systemic sclerosis, [7] etc.
The term decision matrix is used to describe a multiple-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) problem. An MCDA problem, where there are M alternative options and each needs to be assessed on N criteria, can be described by the decision matrix which has N rows and M columns, or M × N elements, as shown in the following table.
The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is a multi-criteria decision analysis method, which was originally developed by Ching-Lai Hwang and Yoon in 1981 [1] with further developments by Yoon in 1987, [2] and Hwang, Lai and Liu in 1993. [3]
