The ordinal input for cardinal output approach of non-compensatory composite indicators: the PROMETHEE scoring method

Despite serious threats as to their soundness, the adoption of composite indicators is constantly growing alongside popularity, especially when it comes in policy-making exercises. This study presents a robust non-compensatory approach construct that mainly based, at least with respect basic ideas, on classic Borda scoring procedure. The we are proposing can be seen aggregation ordinal preferences between considered units supplying numerical cardinal comprehensive evaluation. For this reason, define our methodology, input for output indicators. To take into account hesitation, imprecision and ill-determination defining preference relations elementary indices, adopt PROMETHEE methods, whose net flow score an extension fuzzy score. Moreover, systematically deal robustness results weighting parameters such indifference thresholds, allowing indices. In regard, couple methods recently proposed ??? approach, which permits explore whole domain feasible mentioned above, giving synthetic representation distribution values assumed by terms mean, ?, standard deviation, ?. ? ? also used overall indicator. Finally, enrich analysis set graphical visualizations based principal component applied GAIA technique, providing better understanding outcomes approach. illustrate its assets, provide case inclusive development evaluation, data homonymous report produced World Economic Forum.
