COMPENSATORY MODELS IN MULTICRITERIA METHODS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Multicriteria methods are used on many occasions and deliver as a way out the aggregation of the preferences of the decision-maker in the face of the problem that needs to be solved. The study aims to map the context of application of the compensatory models between the criteria in the context of the multicriteria methods, considering as guiding axes the MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique) and the Entropy of Information. The research aims to verify the weighting techniques used; determine the types of intervention proposed in each study; evaluate the positive and negative aspects of the application; to propose future directions for the advancement of combinations of weight-assigning methods. The research was developed through a Systematic Literature Review (RSL), composed of a bibliometric analysis and complemented by a meta-synthesis for secondary data collection. The RSL was conducted through the PRISMA protocol, with the searches carried out in the main databases, 71 works were initially selected and after the filtering processes, 20 works were evaluated. With the reading, 6 articles were identified capable of answering the proposed questions. The study mapped the literature and identified the temporal evolution of publications in recent years, such as authors and journals in the segment and main application sectors. As well as, the methods of weight attribution were also identified, such as: ROC, Simple Mean and Probabilistic Distribution, Entropy and Fuzzy Entropy, Swing Weight, MAUT and UTA.
