Add to TRT |
Nov. 08 preferred terms list |
Non Preferred Term |
USE Evaluation and Assessment |
|
A better NPT might be "Alternatives analysis". Suggest leaving a TRIS UT |
AE: Agree. There are 156 results in Google Transporation Meta Co-op. Should consider "Alternatives analysis" as NPT or PT Google TMC has 967 results.
ST: Agree
SP: Agree, & yes, "Alternatives analysis" is better as NPT |
"Comparison studies" and "Alternatives analysis" will both be added as NPT for Evaluation and Assessment |
| Data envelopment analysis |
Add to TRT |
Oct. 08 new uncontrolled term list |
Non Preferred Term |
USE Multiple criteria decision making |
|
"Should not be made a NPT to Multiple criteria decision making. DEA is a type of nonparametric analysis and if it were to be a NPT to MCDM, it would be lost. Leave it as a UF or make TRT term. Used quite a bit in TRIS." |
AE: Disagree. Google TMC only 99 hits. NNot sure enough warrant for PT.
ST: Disagree
SP: No opinion |

BP I don't have strong feelings on this but am not sure it is necessary - not frequently used in TRIS.

PsycINFO uses these definitions: Adolescence (13-17 yrs); Yong adulthood (18-29 yrs);Thirties (30-39 years); Mmiddle age (40-64 yrs); Aged (65 yrs and older); Very old (85 yrs and older)
SP: Term not needed

AE: Disagree. Should be considered as PT. 357 hits in Google TMC
BP I would prefer this be a preferred term,
