Abstract
Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) consists in choosing, ranking or sorting alternatives belonging to a finite set and evaluated according to several and usually conflicting criteria. Criteria weights play a crucial role in the decision process since they express the importance of the considered criteria as seen by the decision maker (DM). However, these weight values assigned directly by the DM are subjective and little reliable as they are based only on his experience, his intuition and his psychological state. To overcome the subjectivity problem, several methods are developed to infer criteria weights from DM judgments. The aim of this paper is to develop an approach eliciting ELECTRE I criteria weights using binary outranking relations furnished by the decision-maker and taking support on mathematical programming.
期刊介绍:
IJMCDM is a scholarly journal that publishes high quality research contributing to the theory and practice of decision making in ill-structured problems involving multiple criteria, goals and objectives. The journal publishes papers concerning all aspects of multicriteria decision making (MCDM), including theoretical studies, empirical investigations, comparisons and real-world applications. Papers exploring the connections with other disciplines in operations research and management science are particularly welcome. Topics covered include: -Artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation, soft computing in MCDM -Conjoint/performance measurement -Decision making under uncertainty -Disaggregation analysis, preference learning/elicitation -Group decision making, multicriteria games -Multi-attribute utility/value theory -Multi-criteria decision support systems and knowledge-based systems -Multi-objective mathematical programming -Outranking relations theory -Preference modelling -Problem structuring with multiple criteria -Risk analysis/modelling, sensitivity/robustness analysis -Social choice models -Theoretical foundations of MCDM, rough set theory -Innovative applied research in relevant fields
