It is applicable to problems which may be represented by a hierarchy of objectives to be satisfied. The program is MADAM: Multiple- Attribute Decision Analysis Model, and it is written in FORTRAN V and is implemented on the CYBER 175 system, MADAM is designed to aid the decision-maker as he or she progresses through problem formulation, parameterization, sensitivity analyses, and a decision, including storage of all data and rationales. Deterministic problems are analyzed through Multi-Attribute-Utility Theory concepts and an additive value function is utilized for sensitivity analysis. Pairwise preferential independence is tested between attributes. The work is divided into two volumes. Volume I is a theoretical presentation and includes a user's manual. It requires no programming expertise and may be used independently of Volume 2. Volume 2 is a programming manual including the source code.See also Volume 1, ADA111104.
