Abstract:
This data article describes the analysis of 56 MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) methods in regards to 9 decision-making problem characteristics structured into 3 levels. The impact of uncertainty in decision-making problem description on MCDA method selection is studied. 450,000 possible descriptions of a decision problem were studied, resulting in sets of rules which can serve as input to uncertainty-aware MCDA method selection decision support systems. Comprehensive analyses of the obtained rule sets are provided. An exemplary decision support system based on the presented data was created and is available at http://www.mcda.it. Moreover the technical documentation needed to create and expand such system is provided in this data article. The data and system can be easily extended and the authors invite all researchers to contribute.

Criteria for Aromaticity and the Hückel 4n + 2 Rule
For the first time, Eric Hückel, a German chemical physicist, derived a set of structural features for a compound to be classified as aromatic. This is now known as Hückel’s rule or the 4n +...
Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
