Abstract

Scoring methods are popular in computer selection, and try to combine different attributes into an overall performance measure. Related is the multi-criteria evaluation of computerized information systems. The scoring method is criticized in the context of more general utility models, popular in economics. Scoring provides simplistic choice models, and should not be used as predictive, causal models. Many references for further study are included.
