description

In the case of a priori methods, the decision maker must specify her or his preferences, hopes and opinions before the solution process. The difficulty is that the decision maker does not necessarily know beforehand what it is possible to attain in the problem and how realistic her or his expectations are. The working order in these methods is: 1) decision maker, 2) analyst.
