No-preference Methods
Multiobjective optimization methods that do not require any preference information to be explicitly articulated by a decision maker can be classified as no-preference methods. A well-known example is the method of global criterion, in which a scalarized problem of the form
is solved. In the above problem, can be any norm, with common choices including, and . The method of global criterion is sensitive to the scaling of the objective functions, and thus, it is recommended that the objectives are normalized into a uniform, dimensionless scale,.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:
“A woman might claim to retain some of the child’s faculties, although very limited and defused, simply because she has not been encouraged to learn methods of thought and develop a disciplined mind. As long as education remains largely induction ignorance will retain these advantages over learning and it is time that women impudently put them to work.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
