An exploratory study on goal programming as an alternative method to develop prediction equations

One of the most promising techniques for multiple objective decision analysis is goal programming. Goal programming is a powerful tool which draws upon the highly developed and tested technique of linear programming, but provides a simu~taneousolution to a complex system of competing objectives.
