GONZALEZ, José; VILLARROEL, Mauricio  and  VIVEROS, Francisca. Función de Priorización para tomar decisiones a partir de diagnósticos cuantitativos: Propuesta. Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2017, n.55, pp.180-194. ISSN 1851-1716.

This article aims to propose the use of a mathematical function to prioritize groups to intervene. We present the mathematical properties of the so-called prioritization function, ensuring injectivity and consistency. The application of the function is simulated to a particular case that considers 9 courses in an educational establishment, where it is necessary to decide on which to apply a sexual education plan. It is concluded that the Function is applicable, although it is not the solution to the decision problem, if it opens a way to the objectification of the decisions. It allows enriching quantitative diagnoses and avoiding the discretion of prioritization criteria, which obviously translates into optimization of interventions and therefore of economic resources.

Keywords : Quantitative diagnosis; Contingency tables; Decision Theory.
