Goal Programming via Multidimensional Scaling Applied to Senegalese Subsistence Farms
开发了一种方法，通过农户偏好调查和多维尺度分析来估计塞内加尔自给农民的多目标目标函数的权重，并比较了多目标与利润最大化模型的性能。
Abstract A methodology is developed to estimate empirically the weights for a multiple‐goal objective function of Senegalese subsistence farmers. The methodology includes a farmer‐oriented goal preference survey and an application of a multidimensional scaling technique to the survey data. A comparison of model performance under the multiple‐goal objective function with a profit‐maximization objective function does not indicate that there are distinct advantages to using either function.
