چکیده
Stochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis (SMAA) is a family of methods to aid decision makers (DMs) in discrete decision making problems. SMAA methods are capable of handling preference information of various types. The imprecise preferences of multiple DMs can for example be represented by a joint probability distribution for criteria weights. Dempster-Shafer theory with Analytic Hierarchy Process (DS/AHP) is a decision support method that models ignorance in the preferences of a single decision maker using Dempster-Shafer theory of belief. In this paper we show how the DS/AHP can be used to collect and aggregate the preferences of multiple DMs, and how this information can then be encoded as weight interval constraints in SMAA.

Implementing stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis
Stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) is a family of methods for aiding multicriteria group decision making in problems with inaccurate, uncertain, or missing information. These methods are based on exploring the weight space in order to describe the preferences that make each alternative the most preferred one, or that would give a certain rank for a specific alternative. The ...
متن کاملStochastic Multicriteria Acceptability Analysis Using Achievement Functions
We consider multiple criteria decision-making problems where a group of decision-makers wants to find the most preferred solution from a discrete set of alternatives. We develop a method that uses achievement scalarizing functions for charting subsets of reference points that would support a certain alternative to be the most preferred one. The resulting descriptive information is provided to t...

Stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA) is a family of methods for aiding multicriteria group decision making. These methods are based on exploring the weight space in order to describe the preferences that make each alternative the most preferred one, or that give a certain rank for a specific alternative. The main results of the analysis are rank acceptability indices, central ...
متن کاملIdentifying Compromise Alternatives in Group Decision-making by Using Stochastic Multiobjective Acceptability Analysis
Stochastic multiobjective acceptability analysis (SMAA) is a multicriteria decision support method for multiple decision makers in discrete problems. In SMAA, the decision makers need not express their preferences explicitly or implicitly. Instead, the method is based on exploring the weight space in order to describe the valuations that would make each alternative the preferred one. Inaccurate...

Mutual fund investors are concerned with the selection of the best fund in terms of performance among the set of alternative funds. This paper proposes an innovative mutual funds performance evaluation measure in the context of multicriteria decision making. We implement a multicriteria methodology using stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis, on Greek domestic equity funds for the per...
