A. larger. metric. value. indicates. that. the. nondominated. set. offers. more.
extreme.nondominated. solutions. to.decision. makers.. Note. that. this. metric.
cannot. be. used. alone. to. assess. the. diversity. of. nondominated. sets.. This. is.
because.a.large.metric.value.does.not.guarantee.that.the.obtained.nondomi-
nated.solutions.are.uniformly.distributed..Thus,.it.must.be.adopted.together.
with.other.diversity.metrics.at.the.same.time.
5.5 Binary ε -Indicator
It.was.criticized.that.the.unary.metrics.described.in.Sections.5.1-5.4.are.inca-
pable. of. indicating. whether. one. nondominated. set. is. better. than. another.
[22,23]..Therefore,.a.binary.ε-indicator.has.been.proposed.[23].and.used.to.
identify.the.better.performer.when.a.pair.of.nondominated.solution.sets.is.
examined.
Consider. a. minimization. problem. with. M . positive. objectives;. an. objec-
tive.vector.
