ABSTRACT:
A method and system for balancing weights in models for decision support systems. When weights in such a model are assigned as local weights, evaluators may obtain non-intuitive results due to biases introduced by variations in the number of child factors of parent factors at a given level. Adjusting weights assigned within the model provides results which are often more intuitive to an evaluator. Two methods of calculating appropriate balancing coefficients to adjust weights are presented.
