Some remarks on ELECTRE TRI

چکیده
ELECTRE TRI is a method designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced variant uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two variants. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one variant can also be obtained by the other variant, after a suitable redefinition of the profiles. We also investigate the transposition operation that was introduced by the authors of the variant using central profiles. We study the consequences of applying this operation to the variant using limiting profiles. This leads us to propose an alternative variant of ELECTRE TRI that uses limiting profiles. We show that this alternative variant may have some advantages over the original one.

متن کاملA user-oriented implementation of the ELECTRE-TRI method integrating preference elicitation support
Multiple Criteria Sorting Problem consists in assigning a set of alternatives A"Ma 1 , a 2 ,2, l evaluated on n criteria g 1 , g 2 ,2, n to one of the categories which are pre-de"ned by some norms corresponding to vectors of scores on particular criteria, called pro"les, either separating the categories or playing the role of central reference objects in the categories. The assignment of an alt...
متن کاملA multiple criteria sorting method where each category is characterized by several reference actions: The Electre Tri-nC method
This paper presents Electre Tri-nC, a new sorting method which takes into account several reference actions for characterizing each category. This new method gives a particular freedom to the decision maker in the co-construction decision aiding process with the analyst to characterize the set of categories, while there is no constraint for introducing only one reference action as typical of ea...
متن کاملUsing Assignment Examples to Infer Category Limits for the Electre Tri Method
Given a finite set of alternatives, the sorting (or assignment) problem consists in the assignment of each alternative to one of the pre-defined categories. In this paper, we are interested in multiple criteria sorting problems and, more precisely, in the existing method ELECTRE TRI. This method requires the elicitation of preferential parameters (importance coefficients, thresholds, profiles,....
متن کاملAn axiomatic approach to ELECTRE TRI
In the literature on MCDM, many methods have been proposed in order to sort alternatives evaluated on several attributes into ordered categories. Most of them were proposed on an ad hoc basis. Using tools from conjoint measurement, this paper takes a more theoretical approach to these sorting methods. We provide an axiomatic analysis of the partitions of alternatives into two categories that ca...
