For example, in operational research domains, data analytics have long been promoted as a way to enhance decision-making. This study proposes a comprehensive, normative framework to define explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) for operational research (XAIOR) as a reconciliation of three subdimensions that constitute its requirements: performance, attributable, and responsible analytics. In turn, this article offers in-depth overviews of how XAIOR can be deployed through various methods with respect to distinct domains and applications. Finally, an agenda for future XAIOR research is defined.</p>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDecision analysisExplainable artificial intelligenceInterpretable machine learningXAIXAIORExplainable AI for Operational Research: a defining framework, methods, applications, and a research agendaReview article
