: Converting multiple objectives into a single one by assigning weights to each goal before running the optimization.
: Optimization happens in the decision space (the variables you can change), but results are measured in the objective space (the goals you want to reach). Primary Methodologies There are three main ways to handle multiple objectives:
: Finding the entire set of trade-off solutions first, then letting a human expert choose the best one.
: This is the set of all Pareto optimal solutions represented in the objective space. It provides a visual "trade-off curve" that allows decision-makers to see the literal cost of their choices.
