Sigmoidal Model for Belief Function-Based Electre Tri Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Main decision-making problems can be described into choice, ranking or sorting of a set of alternatives or solutions. The principle of Electre TRI (ET) method is to sort alternatives ai according to criteria g j into categories Ch whose lower and upper limits are respectively bh and bh+1. The sorting procedure is based on the evaluations of outranking relations based firstly on calculation of partial concordance and discordance indexes and secondly on global concordance and credibility indexes. In this paper, we propose to replace the calculation of the original concordance and discordance indexes of ET method by a more effective sigmoidal model. Such model is part of a new Belief Function ET (BF-ET) method under development and allows a comprehensive, elegant and continuous mathematical representation of degree of concordance, discordance and the uncertainty level which is not directly taken into account explicitly in the classical Electre Tri.

On the relations between ELECTRE TRI-B and ELECTRE TRI-C and on a new variant of ELECTRE TRI-B
ELECTRE TRI is a set of methods designed to sort alternatives evaluated on several criteria into ordered categories. The original method uses limiting profiles. A recently introduced method uses central profiles. We study the relations between these two methods. We do so by investigating if an ordered partition obtained with one method can also be obtained with the other method, after a suitabl...

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,....
