multicriteria evaluation
type: Concept
definition: Multicriteria evaluation (MCE) refers to a group of analytical methods that fall loosely within the field of multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA). Used within GIS, MCE methods allow individual input map layers used in GIS overlay operations to be weighted such that their relative importance is reflected in the output map.
