In this article we develop an indirect approach for assessing criteria significance weights from the robustness of the significance that a decision maker acknowledges for his pai...
A box-constrained integer least squares problem (BILS) arises from several wireless communications applications. Solving a BILS problem usually has two stages: reduction (or prepro...
