Figure 6-17. Dialog box for defining label probabilities. Measure Categories Measure categories are sub-measures that define an alternative's level as a weighted average of its category levels. A measure category is defined by a multiplier for the category and a category level for each alternative. Different preference sets can have different multipliers for the categories. You define category levels in the Matrix view in the same way as you define measure levels. You can define probabilistic category levels but you can't define category levels using labels. If you have defined categories for a measure, LDW will compute the levels for that measure from the category levels. LDW will override any levels you have previously defined in the Matrix view and will lock the measure's level cells when you define the first category for the measure. 6-30 Section 6 -- Using LDW 1: Structuring
Adding a Measure Category. You can add a measure category at any time using the Edit::Add option. Just select the "Measure Category" button and click OK. You can also add measure categories in the Matrix or Quick Entry view. To do this you first select an existing measure or measure category and then add the new category with the Add a Category option. If you have previously saved a measure category using the Edit::Cut or Edit::Copy option you can retrieve it with the Edit::Paste option. The category will belong to the active measure, which can be different from the measure the category was copied from. You can view measure categories in the Goals Hierarchy view, and you can also cut and paste them, but you can't insert them. Deleting a Measure Category. You can delete measure categories in the Matrix, Goals Hierarchy or Quick Entry view. To do this you first select the category you want to delete and then delete it with the Edit::Delete option or the Edit::Cut option. The Cut option saves a copy of the measure category. The Delete option does not. Modifying a Measure Category. Generally you will modify a measure category by changing its levels on the alternatives. You can also modify the name and other information about a measure category by reviewing the properties dialog box shown in Figure 6-18. You can view this dialog box by double clicking on a category's cell in the Matrix, Goals Hierarchy or Quick Entry view or by selecting the Edit::Modify option.

Measure Categories<br />
Measure categories are sub-measures that define an alternative's<br />
level as a weighted average of its category levels. A measure<br />
category is defined by a multiplier for the category and a category<br />
level for each alternative.<br />
Different preference sets can have different multipliers for the<br />
categories.<br />
You define category levels in the Matrix view in the same way as<br />
you define measure levels. You can define probabilistic category<br />
levels but you can't define category levels using labels.<br />
If you have defined categories for a measure, LDW will compute<br />
the levels for that measure from the category levels. LDW will<br />
override any levels you have previously defined in the Matrix<br />
view and will lock the measure's level cells when you define the<br />
first category for the measure.<br />
