The point-factor system involves evaluating jobs based on compensable factors, and when a priori weights are used, these weights are indeed determined through expert judgments. This method does not inherently involve weighting noncompensable factors or excluding factors determining pay in the labor market when weights are derived empirically. Multiple regression is a statistical method that could be used in empirical weighting but is not an example of an a priori weights method by definition.
