We are happy to announce the official launch of mcda.drugis.org, our web-based tool for multiple criteria decision analysis.
The tool supports the elicitation of partial value functions and criteria trade-offs using several methods, and makes use of our R packages and the Patavi web service wrapper to compute the MCDA results.
Please keep in mind that mcda.drugis.org is still in beta, so don’t expect perfection just yet.
This is the first component of the ADDIS 2 project to be launched.
Its development has allowed us to prove the feasibility of a number of our architectural decisions, as well as further define the components and frameworks that will be used in ADDIS 2.

We have just updated our web based multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) preference elicitation tool. This component will be used in ADDIS 2.0 to support benefit-risk decisions. It is currently available online at mcda.clinici.co. The new features include:
- Workspaces and scenarios: store the intermediate results of preference elicitation in your browser.
- Overview: shows the elicited preference information in one place.
- Exact SWING: preference elicitation leading to an exact weighting.
- Extensive refactoring of the client-side code and many bugfixes on both the client and server side.
You will need a recent browser; we recommend Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Several examples are provided. You can also load your own benefit-risk assessments by exporting them from ADDIS 1.16.4 or later. We would be glad to hear your feedback.
