In a MCE using a weighted linear combination, the assigned weights need to be summed
up to 1 for each category and subcategory. These scores were derived by multiplying
each class weight with all associated factor weights found in each level of the hierarchy,
or the class weight multiplies with the total factor weight. However, each factor in the
last layer was classified into 4 suitability classes (P1, P2, P3, N) and their suitability
scores were presented in the standardized format ranging from 0 (no potential) to 1
(high potential). The total score for suitability is achieved by multiplying criterion score
with its appropriate weight and adding all weighted scores.
