An axiomatic approach to ELECTRE TRI
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 can be obtained using what we call “noncompensatory sorting models”. These models have strong links with the pessimistic version of ELECTRE TRI and our analysis allows to pinpoint what appears to be the main distinctive features of ELECTRE TRI when compared to other sorting methods.

An axiomatic approach to noncompensatory sorting methods in MCDM, II: More than two categories
A number of recent papers have investigated the foundations of methods allowing to sort multi-attributed alternatives between several ordered categories. This paper has a similar objective. Our analysis uses a general conjoint measurement framework, encompassing most sorting models used in MDCM, that was proposed in the literature. Within this framework, we provide an axiomatic analysis of what...
متن کاملAn axiomatic approach to noncompensatory sorting methods in MCDM, II: The general case
This paper is devoted to the study of methods allowing to sort multi-attributed alternatives between several ordered categories. Within a general framework that encompasses most sorting models proposed in the literature, we provide an axiomatic analysis of what we call noncompensatory sorting models, with or without veto effects. These models contain the pessimistic version of ELECTRE TRI as a ...

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,....
