Multi-directional Benefit of the Doubt approach (MDBoD)

Description

Multi-directional Benefit of the Doubt (MDBoD) allows to introduce the non-compensability among simple indicators in a standard BOD in an objective manner: the preference structure, i.e., the direction, is determined directly from the data and is specific for each unit.

Usage

ci_bod_mdir(x,indic_col)

Arguments

x	A data.frame containing simple indicators.
indic_col	A numeric list indicating the positions of the simple indicators.

Value

An object of class "CI". This is a list containing the following elements:

ci_bod_mdir_est	Composite indicator estimated values.
ci_method	Method used; for this function ci_method="bod".
ci_bod_mdir_spec	Simple indicators specific scores.
ci_bod_mdir_dir	Directions for each simple indicator and unit.
